San Antonio Texas a Day of Shopping

Today we just lazed around till after noon and then we thought we would go for a country drive. Well we drove the back roads for a long time and then ended up back on the interstate. Bye then we decided to head home but we were side tracked by an outlet mall! Wow what a big one and we walked most of it! Did not buy much but sure seen a lot. Anyway it was a nice day out!

San Antonio River Walk and The Alamo

Today we had a full day of touring San Antonio. First we walked some of the "River Walk" and then we had lunch in a nice place on the river. The bird in the photo was hoping to get some crumbs from us but we held back the temptation to feed it. After lunch we walked down to the Alamo and then toured it. Well it was a good walk back to the car and then I really wanted to see the Mexican Market so we walked there only to find they were closing, grrrrrrr...Dale was not happy walking back to the car! Anyway here are a few photos of this day!

Kerryville Texas to San Antonio Texas

The drive here was nice, there are blue flowers by the highway all Texas so far! I found out they are call "blue bonnets". We are actually half way between San Antonio and New Braunfels. We have to have some work done on the motor home at Camping World in New Braunfels. We also are going to buy a breaking system for the tow car here. The campground is nice even though it is a bit rustic, after all we are in Texas!

Fort Stockton to Kerryville

Another day of driving, actually we are only driving 4 to 5 hours a day and some days will be even less. Nothing much to chat about today other than we are in a Wal-mart Parking lot in Kerryville and I have Internet! This is not a cheap place to park, we went into Wal-mart twice and spent over $100.00 but it was mostly food so that is not bad. Ernest is doing fine driving and does not even need an afternoon nap!

El Paso Texas to Fort Stockton Texas

Happy Birthday Brayden! Well, not much to say today, we drove here to Fort Stockton and we are in a cow pasture type RV Campground. Can not complain though as it is only $9.00 and we have wireless Internet. We were going to dry camp somewhere but then found this place in our Passport America book. Thanks to Art and Pat we have been using "PA" and have saved a few bucks! No photos as there was not much to take a picture of today.

El Paso a day drive

Today we decided to drive around town and check it out! On our drive we stopped at The Museum of Archaeology, after that we drove the Transmountain Road and had lunch at the look out there. I took a few photos of some flowering cactus, I never get tired of them! Also here is a photo of Ernest having a picnic lunch!

El Paso Texas

Today we drove from Picacho Peak State Park in Arizona to El Paso Texas. The drive was nice with some cactus, which I like to see. We stopped at a rest area and I found a giant "road runner" statue. I will attach the photo on this page, I thought it was quite neat. I could not take a different angle for the photo as there were signs telling you to beware of snakes so I stayed on the sidewalk. The park is nice here in El Paso and we decided to stay a few extra days as the weather to the east looks cold (60's) and it is nice and warm here (80's).

Picacho State Park in Arizona

Well we are finally on the road, heading to Florida For Courtney's wedding. We are looking forward to the sights we will see in our journey through the states. We spent five months in Arizona as the "first leg" of our trip and traveling to Florida is our "second leg", the "third leg" will be after we leave Florida and head toward Canada following the east coast. Our "fourth leg" will be exploring eastern Canada and then heading home! Seems like a long trip to me as I am already wanting to be home with my family. It is nice I can chat with everyone on the phone or by using Skype and of course Windows Messenger is fun as I can see the grand kids when we talk there!
Well here are some photos of the State Park, we only were there one night but it was very nice.

Last Evening Sunset In Yuma

Here are a few snaps of the last night we were in Yuma! We went into the desert, which is only 2 blocks away and took these photos. The sun was setting in the west and the moon was rising in the east! What fond memories of Yuma!

At almost the very same time as the sun was going down the moon was comming up! I thought it was kinda special, next year I will look for a similar night for more photos, maybe I will have a new tripod; my old one is broken so I had to hold the camera this night'

Easter Dinner at Henry and Hilda's

We had a nice turkey dinner at Hilda and Henry's! It was so warm and a beautiful day. After dinner we played cards and just had so much fun with these two special Friends. Also are a few photos of Hilda's cacti that are blooming for the first time since she planted then many years ago.
