I returned on Wednesday from the “Books & Boots Tour” of Texas that Dani Pettrey and I organized. Our road trip spanned more than 8 days and more than 1,000 miles. Texas is a huge state but, as you can see from the below route, we traveled a sizeable swath of it!

Here’s a photo highlight from each stop along the way…

Booksigning at Mardel in Houston. (This couple were friends of our family when I was 9-13 years old and we were living in Frankfurt, Germany. They surprised me by showing up at the signing!)

Breakfast at La Panaderia in San Antonio
HOME!!!

This road trip included lots of driving, lots of talking, lots of time with friends, and lots of luggage toting. It was tiring. But it was also wonderful. I’m so glad we went because it truly is a joy to meet and speak with readers and booksellers in person. We had many, many opportunities to do just that along the Texas highways.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who hosted us and came out to see us!

  2. What a fabulous trip, Becky! It looks like you had a wonderful time. Maybe one of these days when I finally retire from the day job, I’ll join you on one of those trips. 🙂

  3. Great pictures! I’ve been to San Antonio. Was that breakfast picture along Riverwalk?

    1. Yes, Betty! Exactly. I forgot to take a photo during the breakfast and so I snapped that one as I was walking back to my hotel along the beautiful riverwalk. 🙂

  4. Becky,
    Thank you so much for sharing your photos of your tour. What a wonderful adventure!

  5. What a fun trip! I wish I lived closer so I could have caught you all at one of your stops! Glad you made it home safely.

    1. Yes, thankful to have returned to home sweet home. (I’ve been enjoying the quiet since I returned as well as getting “caught up” on life.) 🙂
