Texas Trip Continues...

Texas Trip Continues...

Our day started at 7 am with checking out of the TownePlace Suites in College Station, TX and having breakfast at the Denny's just up the road.  We've eaten here the last time we were in the area. Good service, always busy and the breakfast was pretty good as well.  That's when the emails started. Nothing like getting about 10 emails over the coarse of breakfast.  It took us a little longer to get on the road for Alleyton, TX since we had to address some of the emails.  We arrived at the plant about 10 am, just in time to meet up with our regional sales manager.  We ran into some issues but finally had the equipment up and running.  They stopped running and everyone disappeared so we figured it'd be a good time for lunch.  We went to Schobels, a family run restaurant with the best buffet. I love the salad dressings that are made from scratch.  Very friendly and never much of a wait to be seated. If you get the chance to stop there, I'd highly recommend it but prepare to overeat.  When we arrived back at the plant they still weren't running and we found that they were done for the day and would start back up tomorrow.  We called it a day and headed to Columbus, TX a few exits up I-10 to a Holiday Inn Express.  They have started to remodel the lobby since we were here last.  It is about the only chain hotel in the area.  The rooms are nice and the beds are comfortable.  The price isn't too bad either.  Our final day is tomorrow and will be spending the night near the San Antonio Airport for our Thursday flights out.

Until tomorrow fellow travelers...
