We Just Need A Place To Lay Our Head

---

That giant Texas throne…

Was this year’s impetus…for the…we just need a place to lay our head…con…ver…sa…tion…

Comes up every year…on the three day trek south…don’t spend too much on hotels…have slept in the car in the past…don’t need anything fancy…

And this is true…point taken…but route planner me…likes to have a plan…likes to know where she is headed…likes to know…she’ll feel safe…

And she’s learned…from experience…the drive til whenever…then find a place…or randomly choose one that looks good online…

Hasn’t always…worked out…

A bed…with springs…so sunken in the middle one had to sleep across the foot…rooms with no key…the desk person had to let you in…

Hotels located in out of the way…made for tv horror movie areas…call for traveler me…to stick with places she knows…

Because you can’t put a price…on feeling safe…on having peace of mind…

Ok…you CAN put a price on it…and traveler me does…it’s just not necessarily…always going to be…the lowest of the low…just need a place to lay our head…kind of price…
​
And this husband of mine…will agree…
