Found A New RV Park For The Fall

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 60 degrees, high 80 degrees, cloudy skies, windy

We drove down to Palacios this morning, looking for another place to stay when we return to visit. Our search led us to a park located on the waterfront, looking out at the Gulf of Mexico. After talking to the owner and looking over the facilities, it looks as though we have found a place that will meet our needs. When we come back in the fall, we'll see what adventures we can find in the new location. The new park is located near the shrimp and fishing boats. We should be able to get our fill of fresh seafood.

The only problem I see with the new park at this time is it's location near the water and the salt that will probably be deposited on the truck and RV. We've talked about staying there for a while, so we'll work through any salt issues. At least for a time. We may get tired of it in a hurry.

We visited with Lori and her family for a couple of hours this afternoon. She had to work at her school earlier in the day, where she is a science teacher. They had a tutoring session for students who are trying to do well on the state standardized tests. Tonight, Lori and her family came to the RV, and we had a good visit.

Sometimes it's hard to believe how fast our grandchildren are growing up. Julian will be a senior this next school year, while Zoe will be entering the seventh grade. Thomas, our grandson who lives in Alabama, will be entering the eighth grade. Blink your eyes and they're grown.

We'll be leaving here tomorrow, on our way to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to visit our other daughter Terri and her son Thomas. Before we leave tomorrow, we'll have breakfast with Lori and family. We'll be sad about leaving, but happy about seeing Terri. It's too bad our girls live so far apart.

In the meantime, on to other adventures.

More later, be safe.
