On the road again...

[cruisetime]

Debbie - I just got on - I can't believe you were at Brazos Bend!!!!! I just missed you!!!! It is an awesome park when the weather is permitting - it is huge! I'll post some pictures tomorrow to show you what the snow was like - it was about 4 inches late in the night of Christmas Eve and into Christmas. SOOOOO Beautiful! We luckaly had neighbor angels in the night that banged on our door and wouldn't stop at midnight Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. They told us to check out our awning and we are sooooo glad!!! We didn't belive it really would snow (hasn't snowed in Houston like this since before an 80 year old man can remember) so didn't take much precaution for the awning and by midnight there was so much on it we could barely open the door so thanks to neighbors we put on our 5 layers of clothes and pushed our way outside into a beautiful winter wonderland! And an awning about to bend under the snow - the neighbors came back over and helped get the snow off and we rolled it up. SO VERY GRATEFUL!! Meka didn't know what to make of it all and it was soooooo cold!!! But at midnight we were the first ones to put our footsteps in the snow on the road and it was incredibly beautiful! MErry Christmas! Hope this week is more like the normal Texas weather though! I'm still thawing out! We had to unhook the water every night and drain the lines in case with 20 degree weather and the park cut the water off totally Christmas Eve night at 4pm.... Love that fresh water tank!

Well, we're leaving Galveston today! Have to get away from the wind and the rain - sheesh! So we're headed to Baton Rouge for two days, where we'll get to meet up with Laura's Babies!

Gotta go, gotta get this place ready for travel again.

Sounds great! Definitely move away from that wind and rain! Hope it's sunny where you are going.

Are we THERE yet, Mom?

An by-da-by -

Where ARE we??

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yep, we're here now, in Denham Springs, LA and FINALLY we have good weather. a bit cloudy, but warm and NO WIND! Laura should be visiting sometime today. Wasn't a bad drive yesterday but boy did we get dirty! There was just enough rain to create the dreaded spray, and that along with the sand that Texas put down for the snow the other day and whew! I've never seen my car so dirty and Terry says he's never seen the motorhome so dirty! I couldn't even see out the windows of the car on my way to the car wash! Both are clean as can be now...until we hit the road again.

So we're here. We've got the front door open (screen door closed) and Peanut has already been on the step checking out all the new sniffs and she has now settled down - I think it's nap time since she was tickling me with her whiskers and waking me up at 5:00 am! Peanut, don't you know we're on vacation and that means I get to sleep in!

[QueenScoopalot]

This has been such fun going along on your trip! Give Laura a big hug from me, and have fun in Louisiana!

Thought I'd post a picture of Brazos Bend State Park after you left....

You too, Phred. We'll be fast asleep when the ball drops since we have to get up early tomorrow and head home. Gotta put some miles behind us so we don't get in too late Sunday so we have time to settle in a bit and relax before we head back to work on Monday. Work - ugh! Perish the thought! But I guess that's what one has to do in order to be able to take vacations like this one. I'ts about 70 degrees out right now and the sun is breaking through the clouds - aaahhhh....vacation...what a life.

Debbie, Brazos Bend looks just like Galveston Island looked - white! It was probably a treat for you guys since you don't see snow that often, but it's exactly what we were trying to get away from. Oh well, only so many people can say they've seen snow in Southern Texas, and I guess now we're amongst those few.

Debbie - so you had a white Christmas after all. Maybe the snow followed you, LOL. My brother lives in Dallas and drove here to east TN for Christmas. It took them three days and 24 hours of driving to make the normal 12 hour drive because of all the snow and ice across Arkansas and west TN. They said the snow ended in Nashville. That is odd because east TN usually gets more snow than west or middle TN. Odd Christmas this year.

I hope you guys have a safe trip back and I'll be looking for updates on the road. Happy New Year!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Lori, I heard about that bad weather. We met some guys in Galveston - who have the exact same motorhome as we do - who drove down from near Paducah, KY in that weather. They had to turn around a few times because down here when it gets icy, they just close the bridges and you have to find another way around. It took them 3 times as long to get anywhere, just like your brother. I sure am glad all that weather is gone for our trip home. We were ahead of it on the way down, and it sounds like the worst we'll get on the way home is some rain - whew!
