Random sightings along the way.....

We are on I45 south, headed towards Galveston. Just passed Huntsville, TX and what I believe is THE prison in Texas. It is pretty darned big.  The sign on the entrance monument said something like Huntsville State Prison and then "The Holiday Unit". I'm guessing that the men living there don't think of it as a holiday. Just sayin'.

We just passed a humongo statue of Sam Houston.  It is positioned right along the freeway. Would have taken a pic, but we are barreling along at 70 MPH. Oh well. 

This is really very pretty hilly country that we are driving thru. No longhorn cattle, but lots of forested areas and then wheat fields. It is a surprise to see wheat already maturing and turning gold this early in the summer.  Back home it is just a few inches out of the ground. 

Another couple of hours and we will be on the beach in Galveston. Sweet!
