Well I'm back in class, falling out of your past

I'm back in the dorm today much to my chagrin. Spring break is always too short, but this time it feels especially abbreviated. Perhaps because our few days at the beach had to be immediately followed by two days of travel. Over the next few days I'll be sharing some pictures of my vacation, as well as finally getting back on the whole daily outfit photo train.
Spring Break Part I: The Drive to South Padre

There was a lot of open road involved in our journey. The trip down to South Padre took about 13 hours with our stops. We saw quite a bit of Texas.

Texas has some varied landscapes, but for the most part what we saw was very flat. In some places it felt like we could see forever, which was stunning and overwhelming at the same time.

Being on the road for such a long time, we saw a lot of interesting signs. We all liked this one because of the spelling of sandwich. Apparently that's how "country boys" spell it.

We got to know the highways of Texas very well. Or, as well as you can get to know something when moving at 75 mph.

One thing we saw a lot of was churches. There were churches all over the place. Some had vaguely threatening signs while some were just impressive to look at.

In the latter parts of our journey, we saw a lot of fields filled with wildflowers, especially Bluebonnets, the state flower of Texas. It's a common myth that bluebonnets are illegal to pick, but we decided that if everyone in Texas thinks it's illegal, someone will probably shoot you for picking them even though it's not technically against the law.

In Southern Texas we encountered some fields of dusty dirt which in the wind created some very mysterious scenery. The only time we couldn't see far away was when the dust picked up and we could barely see twenty feet.
