We drove the rest of the way to Dallas today. It was only about a four-hour drive. The GPS in the RAV4 took us on a route that we haven't taken into Dallas before. We passed through Decatur on 287 then about 15 miles later turned east on highway 114. We stayed on it until it joined 183 then I35E and became the Stemmons Freeway. It was much easier than the way we usually go although it was on smaller roads. There was some construction, but not too much traffic. We arrived at the hotel by 2 p.m. so we weren't out during most of the traffic.

After checking into the hotel, Phil was able to get his schoolwork finished. We walked next door to Whatburger for a take-out dinner.
