Rockport and Goliad

After the motor home has been in the shop most of the time since Colorado, Schers and I decided to take a week long Texas trip to see if all is well with the motorhome. And to "get out of Dodeg" for a while. I left Wednesday morning and headed to Liberty. I have a bad cold but decided to go anyhow. Got to Liberty without incident. Schers and I went out to an early dinner and to the store in search of "cold" drugs. It was mighty cool in Liberty - the cold front made it all the way south. Thursday morning we headed out for Rockport. New roads for me - in Texas - who knew that I hadn't been on them all! it was an easy drive - went right past Jenny's old haunts in Pearland on our way around Houston. Got to the park here about 2. We ran into Marcus (Schers' friend from Colorado) while we were checking in. He came and helped us hook up. I had issues with my TV and was once again ready for a stick of dynomite BUT seems I need to have a satalite receiver hooked up to get cable...who knew. Actually I think I could have hooked it up another way but the receiver worked. All is well - I have FoxNews and internet!! It is really cold here this morning! I was surprized by the cold this far south. Even had the heat on in the motorhome last night. But slept like a baby and feel a lot better this morning. This afternoon we are going out to see the whooping cranes. Kind of like whale watching BUT bird watching instead!
