We’ve been home from Corry for over a week now, and I’ve been meaning to bring the saga to a close. Right now, I should be working on getting ready for school, so naturally it is a perfect time to write a blog post.

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 [...]
Chris and Jason brought us breakfast this morning and saw us off, so they got to see what hitching up and getting the rig ready to roll looks like. It always tickles me to show people how the slides work. For some reason, folks are really captivated by that. Site built houses just don’t have [...]

Not a lot to report today. After scoring really excellent doughnuts from the Snowflake bakery for breakfast, I visited the local cemetery to find the graves of the Hay ancestors. There are quite a few very old tombstones there, some dating back to the Texas Revolution. The first Hays to settle in Bandera, Alexander and [...]
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!

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 was my day to geocache here in San Antonio. Before I did that, however, I needed to get the oil in the truck changed. We’ve come over 2,000 miles on our trip, so before we start heading back, we needed to take care of our tow vehicle. I had the shop put Rotella T [...]
Because Lex was off, we both spent a lazy Monday just poking around the house. Later in the afternoon, I did go into town to run a few errands and pick up some groceries. Came home, put together some dinner, and ended up going to bed early. So, not much else to report about Day [...]

Today marks the two-thirds point on our trip. We’ll be home in three weeks. We still have a week left in San Antonio, a week in Bandera and a few days in the DFW area before we head back, though, so it’s not over yet! I woke up early today and started cooking. The build-a-taco [...]
About 10:00 a.m., Lex found out that her boss had called a meeting of her company’s employees at a local Starbucks (everyone in San Antonio or linked to the San Antonio office now telecommutes) from noon to 3:00 p.m. But, but, but….I had to be in Gonzales for the funeral at 3:00 p.m. What to [...]
