Day 6

Jarrod woke up pretty early to get going. It was still really dark outside so he slept for another hour. The poor man only got five hours of sleep. We stopped in Childress because the Marshmallow was driving funny. Jarrod stopped at an alignment place, thinking maybe that was the problem. They only take appointments. That turned out to be a blessing. Jarrod jacked the front up and looked at the tires. It looked like all we needed were new tires. We went to Wal-Mart, but they don't carry those kinds of tires. They directed us to a place that did. After two new tires on the front we trudged on. It seriously seemed like we would never get there. We hoped to make it to Houston in time for church, but that didn't happen. We were about to pass into Ennis when one of the back tires blew. We were able to get to one of the only tire stores open. This was about three to four hours to Houston. We finally got into Houston a little after eleven. We were so tired that seriously considered stopping before Conroe for the night, but we trudged on. We were very happy to see everyone.
