Three trips in 2012 - Trip 2 via Texas, Mexico and Tennessee

Trip 2 was during June and July 2012 and we covered an extensive amount of miles....
We flew via London Heathrow and Miami into Atlanta then drove to the house.
Totally exhausted we arrived at the house about 5am. Never again will we take 2 stopovers!!! Reminder to self!

Courtney and her boyfriend Iain were with us for the first three and a half weeks. We travelled to New Orleans on our way to Bernie and Archie's in McAllen, Texas. We went over into Mexico via Nuevo Progresso.

On our way back to the house we drove to San Antonio - visited The Alamo. Drove to Dallas and visited the "Grassy knoll".
