Road Trip

1/15-17/07 – We decided to start our journey today. We’ve waited a few extra days hoping the weather would improve for our drive to Texas, but it doesn’t appear that it’s going to get any better – so we’re off. I’m driving the motor home loaded with everything we’ve purchased for the boat, and then some. Tom is driving behind in his truck. We’ve got these great walkie-talkies son Brian bought for us so we can communicate while we drive. (They are wonderful!) Since the motor home is so heavy it’s eating up gas, and the drive is slow with the bad weather we’ve been experiencing. Coming down through Texas we actually hit the fringes of an ice storm, made for a very scary drive that day since it iced the extremities of both vehicles.

1/18-20/07 – We arrive in Texas during the coldest, wettest winter in years at our final destination, Palacios, Texas. After driving around this amiable little town we found the Serendipity Bay Resort. (www.campingfriend.com/serendipitybayresort) This is the place we’ve chosen to dock our boat, for now. It’s a nice marina with plenty of room for motor homes (currently full of snow birds) and appears to have quite an agenda of activities for everyone. We drove to Port Lavaca and checked out the Nautical Landings Marina, also a great location. We headed to Florida with improved weather, and very excited to see Amanda and number one grand-daughter, Stella.
