Corpus Christi

We made it to Corpus Christi Texas today.  It was an uneventful trip from Galveston.  It seemed to take a long time.  Not much to look at from the road.  After getting set up and a quick tip in the hot tub we took a ride to the beach on Padre Island.  It was very windy with sand blowing in the wind.  We didn't stay long.  
I've uploaded  photos from New Orleans, and Texas.
Tomorrow we're off to Brownsville.

New Orleans & Galveston Texas

Tonight we are at a very nice campground in Kemah Texas.  That is between Houston and Galveston.  We went to Galveston and had lunch at the beach and drove around part of the island.  Tonight the campground hosted a pot luck dinner.  They supplied chicken strips with country gravy and catfish strips plus some other stuff, campers supplied salad and deserts.  It was a great meal.  Tomorrow we move south, not sure how far we'll make it.
We stopped in New Orleans for a day and visited the French Quarter Sunday.  Walked around and had lunch in an outside cafe.  It was very busy because it was the first nice day they had since all the bad storms they had last week.  Patches was having a ball with all the people and the smells from the outside cafes.  A lot of people stopped to talk and pet him.  The campground wasn't very nice but we only slept there 2 nights.

I'll try to post some photos in the next day or so.

Leaving Florida

Tomorrow is the day we leave Florida for our journey West.  We had a good time here, a month sure went by quickly.  We visited Rick and Linda in Clermont, near Orlando for a couple days.  After that we went to Punta Gorda for 2 nights to attend the Banjo Bash.  Moving back North we spent a month at Sun N Fun in Sarasota.  What a park that was, with over 1,600 sites it was like a small town.  We enjoyed our stay there, especially since Michelle, Mike and Brody visited for a week.  It was nice to see them and Brody is sure growing quickly.

As we travel West my plan is to update our Blog as often as I can.  I'll post some of the highlights of our day and upload photos to our gallery.  You can find the gallery on the right hand side of your screen.

Next we're headed to Texas for a week.
