Sun. Feb. 20th 2011 Rockport Texas

Join us as we travel North America in our Holiday Rambler Vacationer, 

 since August 2006

      Well we are in South Texas and it warmed up here just in time for us. Overnight was much warmer than we have been used to, about 68f (20c), but we managed to handle it alright. A walkabout in the morning is nice, but think I need to get the bikes down so we can ride around lots to see. Over by the clubhouse and a fishing pier onto the pond, with a sign stating no swimming. "Beware of Alligator". Hmm not even sure I would want to fish on that pier if they have a resident alligator.

Beware

the office

       On my rounds I stopped by the office to pick up a permit to wash our coach and car. A good deal here only $5.00 to do both. Back home I got to it and was all done, (looking like new again) by 11:00 am, then off to the store for food stuffs. Some nice fresh strawberries, bananas, apples, fresh bagels and a cantaloupe all very reasonable.

tasty lunch

      We had just finished lunch and outside to putter a bit more in the sun when two pickup trucks pulled up and two couples with three dogs converged on our campsite. It was fellow rvers Rob and Pat and John and Barb, friends from Ontario that are spending the winter about twenty minutes from here.

having fun

       We knew they were going to drop by sometime just not sure what day. So we chatted got caught up with out travels and lives and before we knew it was 5:00 pm so an executive decision was made by all the China A Super Buffet was a good idea. Here was an excellent selection fresh chinese, sushi, seafood, cooked to order steaks, pizza etc. and of course lots of deserts. And a bonus we got the senior rate without even asking! It does pay to get old.  Hmmm, maybe that not such a good thing, guess we are looking older than we feel.

very good

       After a great day with a very nice visit and of course too much to eat for supper we all returned to our Rv's and called it a night agreeing to meet once again at their resort on Tuesday.
