A little more research led me to a picture of the Piano Bridge in Dubina, Texas. I was hooked, no joke.
The trip took place on the stretch of I-10 between Fry Road and Schulenburg, Texas. Our amazing driver, Jenna, was determined to stop for any and all reasons, I was determined to not come home wishing I had taken too few pictures.
Best parts of the trip included the oak tree that all of us climbed. I got all the way up into the tree and then realized that I've never had a problem going up. Coming down, however, that's an entirely different story.
Other memorable encounters included an abandoned convenience store that we found in the middle of nowhere (or rather between Praha, Texas and High Hill, Texas).
For me, the fact that I was in a car full of girls who had no problem with my idea of standing up out of the sunroof to get pictures and who were more than ready to crash someone we didn't know's graduation-dance party was worth every penny that I (didn't) pay for gas.
And the moo-cow game that Jenna taught me is going to be something that I and my kids will engage in for decades to come.
We made a stop at a small town called Columbus- both Katie and I were amazed that such a small town had two town papers.
This is an example of one of the Painted Churches from the inside. (High Hill, Texas).
This is the church in Ammansville, Texas. I loved how white it was. So serene, so beautiful.
This was the inside of the church in Praha, Texas. Praha is NO longer a ghost town people. Not even a little bit. And I was disappointed to see all of the people that I saw there. However, a merry-go-round right outside the attIached school yard provided oh so much entertainment for all of us.
