Hempstead to Bellville, Sealy, and Houston! Drive with me on a Texas highway!

Join me on a 4K no talking drive from Hempstead to Bellville, Sealy, and then Houston! Starting in Hempstead at the Waller County Courthouse we drive around downtown Hempstead before heading south to Bellville, Texas and the Austin County Courthouse. From there we take a walk around Main St and the courthouse where we see the bell from the original 1888 courthouse. Then we head south to Sealy, Texas and get a glimpse of downtown Sealy before getting back on I-10 East to Houston.
