Vacation 2022: Day 5

Well, my plans for having a total Haunted Texas Road Trip for my entire vacation this year fell flat today.

Joe and I were on our way to Jefferson Texas to stay at the Excelsior Hotel and take one of the ghost tours being given tonight. We stopped for something to eat when we were almost an hour out of town, and it was the biggest mistake we’ve made all week.

Within twenty minutes of eating and getting back on the road, we were both very ill. We’d both had the chicken salad with tea and salads. It was a Waldorf chicken salad so I thought the taste was from the dressing they’d used. Whatever it was, we were both sick. It took longer to get home than it did to drive that far, and we were both miserable the entire way back.

In fact, I’m only now able to actually get around besides running to the bathroom. I’m glad I had this morning to work on some baby blankets for some co-workers of mine. One is completely done, and the other is still in the works. I’ll be writing a separate post about them right after this.

I am disappointed about Jefferson, but there’s always another vacation so, we’ll try this again. Of course, I may try to check out some places on my days off too – we’ll see how it goes.

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in our little adventure, and we did have a couple of great experiences so, there’s that.

See you on the flipside and don’t forget your towel and sonic screwdriver!!!
