    Another good nights sleep 36 F at 5 am should be a good travel day. Waiting for the sunrise then we can hit the road, we are ready to keep on moving. Did get a couple of short walkabouts here in the rest area, nice that they have secure lighting so we are not in complete darkness.

        Pulled out around 8:30 am south on I-10 then east on I-20 next to no wind at all a beautiful sunny day blue skies and making good time. A nice Sunday drive in the comfort of our home on wheels.

a beautiful sunrise to begin our day

           Heading through Odessa and Midland Texas , we have travelled many times but think this was the nicest day over the years. No slow downs at all. Amazing all the Oil wells, refineries tank trucks and trains, oil everywhere you look, not a pretty area but I am sure prosperous. And the strange thing right here with all these refineries gas prices almost the highest we have seen them this winter with $2.69 a gallon for regular, glad we don't need fuel yet.

I-10 and I-20 love the signs in the roads

East on I-20 towards Ft Worth

nice and quiet drive today

             Stopped at everyone of these beautiful rest areas to stretch and get some walking done. We arrived at our destination, the Flying J in Tye Texas at 2:30 pm 319 miles in, Another great travel day. Three reasons, cheaper gas $2:20 a gallon, free overnight parking, and we can spend our savings on a tasty meal at Denny's here, we have found a couple of items we enjoy. We did manage to get an rv parking spot, just have to patient, people like to park their cars here and not use the car parking spots. No matter we have time and don't want to travel anymore today.

huge rest area very nice

playgrounds

and the Tornado shelters too

lots of refineries along here as well

          Love the mosaic in the restrooms along here they are amazing.

hundreds these oil wells

            Walkabout the parking lots here at the Flying J, checking the trucks like I enjoy and always check out the store and can often find some handy items that I just can't live without, not yet though. Also I was so warm from the hot sun and no wind sweater was off quickly and on with my shorts, yup this is nice!

            Shortly after 4 pm we headed into Denny' s for an early supper and I ordered my favourite the Crazy Spicy Skillet with Chorizo, sausage, potatoes, hot peppers grilled chicken breast and their special spicy sauce (I ask for extra of that). Suzie the 55+ omelette and we had a very tasty meal for less that $20. a good deal we saved  $24.00 on 60 gallons of gas and a free parking spot with everything right here, This worked for us, not everybody but this is what we do.

Gas $2.25 we save 5 cents a gallon with our Good Sam card
so $2.20

we shared a small caesar salad to start

my Crazy Spicy Skillet love the spicey kick

Suzi'e's Omelette she enjoyed

         Now here it is almost 7:00 pm and a sunset not due for about 90 minutes so I will not wait for that. In the morning once the sunrises we will be back on the road again for a couple of hundred miles where we will hang out for a few days and enjoy some hopefully nice weather.

        That was our nice travel day, enjoying the scenery, sunshine and warm weather. Got to where we wanted to be had a tasty treat for supper and looking forward to a relaxing evening.

        Want to thank y'all for following along with us and hope you enjoyed your day as well.

319 miles today
