Our destination today is Galveston as we already have a site reserved at an RV park right on the ocean. We had our standard pancake and bacon Saturday morning special thanks to Stacey and then we all got to relax a bit before getting ready to go. The wind was pretty strong so it was a bit chilly getting the trailer and Yukon ready.
We stopped at the park office on the way out to see if we could leave the address to forward the package they could not find on Friday. The post office said it had been delivered so it was now in the mail room of the Casino which did not open until Monday.
When Stacey gave them the address and let them know the situation a nice man said he would go to see if he could find the package. They had to wait for security to come to let him in and lo and behold they found the package and brought it over to the RV park. We were very appreciative as it has alot of our tax information as well as the contents of the wallet that Brighton lost in Pensacola.
With that we were on our way. The plans were to stop for Heidi's food in Lake Charles but once we were on the highway we heard the highway leading to that Walmart was closed and backed up for at least an hour. Guess Heidi might have to go hungry!
A few more miles down the road and we hit Texas and had to stop at the first rest stop for the tourist information and facilities. Signs there warned us to beware of snakes so I guess another wildlife change we will experience.
We made it to the Lone Star state! |
Snakes? |
After we were setup, I was really hungry from not really eating lunch so after a quick look-up of reviews we headed to a Mexican restaurant called Salsas. Dinner was good although Brighton ordered the "Messy Nachos" and found that his eyes were bigger than his stomach! Skylar surprised us and got the cheeseburger instead of the grilled cheese as of course he could not get any Mexican food.
On the way back to the trailer we stopped at yet another Wal-mart and got Heidi her food among other things. We also picked up a movie so tonight will be movie night for Stacey and I, although it is Batman so it is really more like movie night for me!
We are in Galveston, too. How long are you here for? If you will be staying a while, head to Houston for the Children's Museum...WORTH IT! Many of the museums in Houston have free Thursday times and the Zoo is free every first Tuesday from 2-6. We went last month and may head there again this Tues. Wonderful area here. We have been here a month and are staying for another. Here's our blog with some stuff we've done so far.... www.rvingnorthamerica.com. Have fun!
