Day 6, A day of rest

 

 The agenda was open so a day of rest and relaxation was in order. Some scenes of nothing happening.

Day 5

  Sunday meant moving day. While Fredericksburg was fun it was time for some peace and quiet. Our next stop was Union Grove campground at Stillhouse Hollow lake. With our senior pass COE campsites like this are a great value. Compare $65 per night at Bending Oaks to $14 per night at Union Grove. Add in scenic views and peace and quiet and you have a winning combination.

 Not much of an agenda for this stop or the next. Just get outdoors and enjoy.

Day 4

  Today was quiet and fairly uneventful. We made a quick dash home to get Mary some pain meds, ate lunch at Backwoods bar b que and did laundry. Tomorrow is moving day to Still house hollow. Looking forward to the peace and quiet. The hectic noise of this area wears on you after a while.

 On the road again tomorrow.

Day 3

  The days of wine and roses...well maybe not roses but flowers. Today was last day with Cheryl and Mike. Plenty of fun, food and fellowship. Oh and wine...

Day 2

  Todays assignment involved driving the Willow City loop. This drive is known for it's scenic beauty, especially in spring when the bluebonnets are in bloom. Sadly they were past their peak but a nice drive on a beautiful day.

 Next came the obligatory walk on main street in Fredericksburg. Have done it many times but new items in shops coupled with people watching makes for fun. Lunch time found us in Auslanders for some good German food. Tonight just snacks and wine.

Day 1

  We have begun our travels with a short drive to Fredericksburg. Staying at a nice rv park shaded by some nice oak trees. Mike and Cheryl are staying in some cabins a couple miles down 290, Vineyard trails. Good conversation, good wine and good food.

Final preparations

  Tomorrow brings the start to our month long trip. For this trip no special destination(s). Just a little roam around Texas. A short day to start with as our first stop is Fredericksburg to meet up with long time friends. Nonetheless packing for a full 30 days is required. Questions and doubts remain that we will be able to complete the planned trip. Mom is in failing health and we may have to alter course and plans.

 Stay tuned
