“We flew into Dallas and were hit with high heat and humidity when we got off the plane. We traveled to Waco for the Vaughn family reunion. From Waco, we drove to Austin and I was able to see my good friend, Rosie Flores from my San Diego days and Milton got to visit his cousin on his dad’s side of the family, Cliff and his wife, Gloria. From Austin, we drove to Houston and Richmond, where Milton grew up. Then we drove all day to New Orleans, where it really was unbearably hot and humid but still fun to see the French Quarter and Bourbon Street.”
