878.2 miles, 6 universities, 3 days, 2 barbeque places!
First we said goodbye to Houston (and 67 foot tall Sam Houston along I-45 in Huntsville)
First we said goodbye to Houston (and 67 foot tall Sam Houston along I-45 in Huntsville) Our mini-getaway began and ended with BBQ -- Woody's Smokehouse in Centerville (which must be midpoint between Houston and Dallas), and Kreutz in Lockhart.
Woody's - great ribs, BBQ with sauce, pretty good sausage, free beans and ice tea (sweet and unsweet), white butcher paper, plastic knives, forks and spoons. Be sure to check out all the canned goodies, including peach cobbler! I figured with Club Fig in the backyard, I'll have to buy my fig preserves.

Kreutz' - BBQ (brisket or clod) NO SAUCE!, excellent sausage (regular or jalapeno), your order is presented on layers of red butcher paper, free ButterKrust bread and crackers; you want beans? Buy them, but definitely-they are great, plastic knife only, use your fingers. They will give you a plastic spoon for your beans.
Other noteworthy places we stopped as we ate our way across Texas -- Tex/Mex Luna De Noche in Plano - I got both the sour cream chicken enchiladas and the spinach and mushroom enchiladas! I'd drive back to Plano for seconds!
Luby's in Bellmead north of Waco. Luby's has really improved - They are back on my list again. No more steam tables and soggy trout almondine. And interesting salads - I enjoyed the spring greens with pecans and feta cheese. Pretty and tasty!
And of course we had to make a stop at the North Austin Costco for a slice of pizza to refuel and then turn back around towards Round Rock for outlet shopping. L scored a $23 deal on an $80 pair of Adidas's.
