Treasure Hunting - Day 6

 




This morning we packed up from our home base in Slidell, Louisiana and started to head north. As much fun as it was hunting treasure and exploring southern Louisiana, we were all ready to head north. Louisiana isn't a bad state to visit but the humidity, even with the lower spring temperatures was not our cup of tea.  Dane was absolutely loving the Creole cuisine though!

We stopped a few times today, but not for any particular attraction: lunch, gas, leg stretching, and to put our feet down in a new to us state- Texas. 



Lots of cool bridges, driving... and driving today...

(Do you see Dane, being abducted by aliens back there?)






Texarkana was full of art, even for the crosswalks!
We didn't see a "Welcome to Texas" sign on the road we drove in on, so we will have to save capturing that sign for another trip. 

After Texarkana, we drove north to Hope, Arkansas. 

Tomorrow we dig for diamonds!

Today's State Count: 3

Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas

Michigan. Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas

After yesterday's long day of travel and the time change for us, today was a much needed day to take it easy. We booked this "extra day" as a buffer to make sure we made it here in time if there were any travel snaffoos. Luckily, we mad eit here on time with no issues!  Then we made our way into the city to the Pan Pacific Hotel.  Our view here is a little bit different ;). Our conference will kick off here tomorrow before we board the ship. We are on the 20th floor and the view is gorgeous!  We spent the afternoon wandering around in Vancouver. We found an art museum, and a comic book/ anime store!  Our hotel is amazing and right on the water....  We took a late afternoon rest at the hotel and went venturing out on the pier before dinner.  (the rooftop pool area on level 8 of our hotel.
