Sam Houston Statue
First stop was at the Sam Houston Statue. I have stopped by a couple times before but was the first time for my honey.
After the prison museum we headed up along 45 until we got to Fairfield where we stopped to grab dinner at Something Different .
I tried their burger with sweet potato fries and honey tried their chicken fried steak, was quite good.
Then we headed up on the last part of todays journey.

Salt Palace
Todays first stop is at the Salt Palace in Grand Saline. The building is built out of salt blocks and has been rebuilt 4 times due to the salt wearing out. Was an interesting place and you get to take some samples with you. While there i saw an ad for the Edgewood Heritage village, so that is where we went next.
Decided to get a late lunch at the The Lumberyard Cafe in Edgewood. I tried the Southwest Burger and onion rings. Did feel a bit weird eating a burger in tortillas but was good.
After lunch we stopped by the Graham’s Market.
Got some fresh produce and then headed back to Mabank.
Later on we went out for some mexican food for dinner.
When we got back to the house a storm came over and we got to enjoy some nice lightning before we crashed for the night.

Driving towards Woodville
First stop on our way home was at the Kemp Calaboose in Kemp. Jail that Bonnie of Bonnie and Clyde was put in jail. While there we saw that they had a Wildflower Festival. Sadly we didn’t have time for that, so we left to continue on our trip.
Met a family of bigfoot on our drive .
Found this cool rest stop on our way, very nice.
Random shots taken during our drive to Woodville.
End of trip ;)
