Traveling to See Friends

Thursday
April 9, 2009

I woke up this morning and worked a couple of hours after which I wrote a short entry for our blog. Gina was waking up by this time and we started getting our home ready for traveling. Considering we had not done anything to get ready it only took both of us about two hours from start to finish, that is pulling out of the campground. We got on the road at just a few minutes after 10 o’clock and pulled into “The Last Resort” at 1:45. The drive was uneventful. However, the wind was blowing pretty hard the whole trip down. We passed up the entrance to the campground and then we had to find somewhere to make a u-turn. We found our site which is right next to John & Brenda’s site. We got out and said our hello’s before I backed into our site. I told them they could not laugh at me since this was my first time to back into a site with this camper and truck. Thanks to John I got it backed in on the first try. I got the camper all hooked up and set up while Gina was visiting with Brenda. Once I finished with getting our home set up, I joined Gina and set outside visiting with John & Brenda. We watched this squirrel eating peanuts just a few feet away from us. Gina was fascinated with how close he would come.

We went inside John & Brenda’s to eat dinner. She had prepared a feast, Barbecued ribs, corn on the cob, bake beans, potato salad, and garlic bread.

Eating with John & Brenda

The food was delicious. We really enjoyed arriving and not having to cook. Gina & I really appreciate and thank you for the meal. Brenda you did a fantastic job considering how picky I am with what I eat. (haha) We then set around talking until about 8:30 until we had to leave and take our dogs for a walk. We came inside our home and set down and Gina asked me, “Did we say good bye”? I don’t think so. Anyway we went back over to John & Brenda’s to tell them good night and confirm our plans for tomorrow. We are going to the USS Lexington, a decommissioned aircraft carrier that is now a museum in Corpus Christi. Gina & I walked back to our home and we both said let’s just go to bed. It had been a long day for us and we were just tired. So we called it a day. Another beautiful day that we were blessed with along with some wonderful friends.


Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed each one us with.
