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 [...]

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 [...]

For whatever reason, I woke up feeling worse on Thursday than I did the day before. I’m not sure why, but I do know that my sunburned legs were now covered with small little blisters. I made myself get up and dressed and went into town where I went shopping for souvenirs for the folks [...]

Spacious sites – I guess [...]
Today was the family reunion. I couldn’t stay very long, but I needed to put in an appearance. I haven’t been in years, and I had promised my uncle I’d be there. I was glad I went. I got to see relatives I hadn’t seen in forever (most since my father’s funeral five years ago) [...]

Our day began at 4:00 a.m. when the alarm rang, waking us for our trip to San Antonio. Shortly thereafter, Lex asked me if I had considered whether or not we could check into the park at 6 a.m. Um, well, no. I hadn’t. And the answer is no, of course we couldn’t, not unless [...]
