When we were at Mustang Island State Park during our day trip to Port Aransas, we knew we wanted to come back with our quick set pavilion. You'll see a lot of full-time RVers with these pavilions. They are super easy to pop up and pull down. Since I received the Escape version for my … Continue reading Texas: Mustang Island State Park
In my current job, I am working part-time hours. So when my manager said she was taking Thursday and Friday off and I should too, I immediately agreed. (Yes, that means I didn't get paid, but I wouldn't have much work to do with everyone gone, either.) We decided to do a quick trip to … Continue reading Texas: Unexpected trip to Port Aransas
On Sunday of our first weekend, we decided to do a day trip to the Brownsville/McAllen/Mission area. The area is a heavy "winter Texan" area, so we checked out RV parks in the area. We also did a short visit to the Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park. The drive is 3 hours each way, … Continue reading Texas: Our first weekend in Rockport, part 2
Our stay in Rockport was supposed to be 2 weeks, so we decided to take it easy on tourist destinations. Goose Island State Park Our first stop was Goose Island State Park, a short 3.5 mile drive away from the RV park. Goose Island offers fishing, camping, and birding opportunities all year long. We just … Continue reading Texas: Our first weekend in Rockport
As I mentioned in my previous post, it was a mistake to do the trip in 2 days. It should be done in 3 days or more. A lot of full-time RVers do the same, travel either 4 hours or 200 miles per day. Anything more is tiring. Amarillo to San Angelo We left on … Continue reading Texas: Driving down to Rockport
This is the first of many posts from our time in Rockport. We had an interesting time, that's for sure. Amarillo to Rockport In retrospect, attempting to get down to Rockport in 2 days travel time was a big mistake. We wanted to avoid taking an extra day off, so it is our fault. Now … Continue reading Texas: Our vacation in Rockport
There are always too many photos to put in one post about an airshow, so this post focuses on the aerobatic planes. The opening performanceMost recent airshows we've attended have an opening performance with parachutists and flags to go along with the national anthem. This airshow was no different. 🙂 Though the planes didn't come … Continue reading Texas: Aerobatic planes at Thunder Over Dalhart
I admit it. A sponsored ad on Facebook got me - an ad for the Thunder over Dalhart airshow. I found out about it a couple weeks ahead of time, so we made plans to attend. Dalhart is approximately 69 miles away from our RV park, and we'd never been there before. The venue Dalhart … Continue reading Texas: Thunder over Dalhart airshow (overview)
After the storm came through, it was time to go outside and clean up. We checked for overturned items such as the sewer hose (it held) and our solar LED lights. We also checked places that water could gather and cause issues. That's where we found that we had quite a bit of water on … Continue reading Texas: Cleaning up after a severe thunderstorm
