Day 181: Guadalupe River State Park, TX Cloudy and warm. San Antonio Most people suggest visiting San Antonio when going to Texas. Now I see why. I really liked San Antonio. The Alamo is a decent historical place. It has a great time line display of the events that happened there. We read the history... Continue Reading →

Day 180: Fredericksburg Inn, TX Cloudy and warm. After our complimentary breakfast, we washed a load of clothes using the free laundry facilities. We walked through downtown Fredericksburg again, hoping the pie shop would be open. Nope. But we found a German bakery and picked up a strudel and a couple other unique items. Fredericksburg...

Day 179: Fredericksburg Inn, TX Cloudy, drizzle. I am pleased as punch with our “Christmas Hotel.” Breakfast was free and not bad! The bacon was nice and crispy.

Day 178: Palmetto State Park, TX Sunny and cool. Christmas Eve breakfast! Then Tom tells me how he read this morning that we ate the worst breakfast possible. Who doesn’t know that?

Day 174: Galveston Island State Park, TX Looks like rain. We had fun walking the streets of Galveston’s East End Historic District. We both had read a story many years ago about the raising of Galveston back in the early 1900s. It was an engineering story. After the hurricane of 1900, what was left of... Continue Reading →

Day 173: Port Lavaca Walmart, TX Sunny and cool. On our quest to become familiar with the Texas coast. We stopped at two National Wildlife Refuges today. Because of some botched navigation by copilot Jen, both refuges were a pain to get to. San Bernard NWR has an auto tour and was cool because nobody... Continue Reading →
