Lex called me today to say that when she was walking the dogs this morning, she heard a whole lot of screaming and yelling, and as she walked back toward our rig, she realized it was the neighbor, Jeanne, screaming at her mother. Apparently, Jeanne was standing outside the door of her mother’s travel trailer, [...]

As you may recall, we had a new couple of neighbors show up a couple of weeks ago. Today, our second set of neighbors showed up. These folks are actually Bill and Jeanne’s parents, and they have their own travel trailer. There have been a couple of extra pickups parked outside for a week or [...]

We’ve been back in Maryland for more than a week, but I still haven’t wrapped my head around the idea just yet. Been in a little bit of a fog, despite the fact that I had to return to work last Monday. It’s that odd time right before the start of the semester when classes [...]
If you don’t really want to wade through 60 days’ worth of posts, I’ll break it down for you: Williamsburg: Stayed in an okay park, ate some good food, did some shopping and geocaching, got a little Colonial American history. Lex had her only real days off during the whole trip. Stone Mountain: Stayed in [...]
We traveled 1400 miles in three days to get from Texas back to Maryland. Initially, we’d planned on taking it a bit more slowly and dividing the trip up over four days, but when I asked Lex if she preferred getting home sooner and having a day off before heading back to work, she voted [...]

This morning, I left my sister’s house and headed back to “historic” Grapevine (the little downtown tourist district) not far from the campground. I was on a mission to find another stuffed armadillo for my friend, Anne’s, other son. While I was there, I also planned on finding a few geocaches. The souvenir shop was [...]
I woke up this morning with yet another migraine. Urgh! This is becoming a habit. The hotter the summer gets, the worse these things are. I did pull myself out of bed to spend some time with Lex and my sister before they both went to work. I spent a little time puttering around the [...]
We were up around 8:00 a.m., and at 8:30 sharp, my friend Melinda knocked on the door. She was carrying homemade breakfast tacos AND a pan of cinnamon rolls! She brought us some El Milagro tortilla chips and a bag of groceries! That was so incredibly kind and generous. She must have figured we look [...]

Today was our last full day in San Antonio. Lex spent part of that day in town at a work-related meeting. I stayed home, cleaned house, and waited for a college friend, Melinda, to show up for a visit in the afternoon. We hadn’t seen each other in nearly fifteen years, but when she got [...]
Today we drove Alex to the airport and San Antonio and bid her goodbye. The week flew by so quickly! We enjoyed her visit and miss her already. Alexis then stopped by North Star Mall to put her name on a waiting list for the iPhone 4G. Yes, she is that geek. While she was [...]
