We are finally wrapping up our stay in in College Station. We spent two months here so I could have my eye surgeries. While they haven’t completely healed yet we decided it was still time to go. The jury is still out on whether or not I will ever have crystal clear vision as I still have an annoying amount of double vision in my far sightedness which I have been told should go away after all swelling abates.
In our last few days we continued our morning walking ritual to check on our nest of swallow chicks. They have now all fledged and another pair has started a nest nearby. Life will indeed continue when we leave town.
We also played a little more disc golf at our favorite park. There is some water hazards on this course and we had to fish out a few discs before finishing our last holes. We also attended one more outdoor music concert this time featuring a Hispanic Band called the Sunny Sauceda Band who was as lively as any Zydeco band we have ever witnessed. We loved their music and we also loved having our boiled shrimp dinner with our Happy Hour beer at the park before the music began.
Prior to leaving we had to visit one of our favorite Tex-Mex restaurant in downtown Bryan. Cheese enchiladas at Casa Rodriguez never fails. We also stopped for one last Carne Asada taco for lunch at Coco Loco’s Mexican restaurant. And before leaving Sharon added a new hat to her collection so I am sure you’ll see more of it in future blogs. I on the other had needed a Whataburger malt before heading east.
Travel day finally arrived and we packed everything all up. After sitting two months of sitting we hoped everything would work as it should. Well, it did and so we hit the road before ten for a rather long (for us) 170 mile trek to the east. A little over three hours later we pulled into Vidor Texas for a one night stay.
Boomtown RV Resort is just off the highway but with all the heat we are sure we won’t be hearing any noise since we are sure the A/C’s will be running non-stop. The park is a Passport America park so we will receive 50% off the nightly rate. It sits on a large scenic pond which was really nice.to see as we enjoyed happy hour at our rig.
This is a one night stop, something we don’t do very often but since there is little for us to see in this area we simply left our CRV connected in order to more easily hit the road in the morning.. I not sure that we have ever spent one night AND had our car stay connected in eleven plus years we have been traveling, but there is always a first.
NOTE: We are now eastbound and will stop in Duson LA next…
OMG - those shrimp look awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope your vision improves as the healing continues
These were Texas Whites but I prefer the Texas Browns. These were still awesome...
DeleteHappy to hear that your surgeries are done, John. Hope your vision continues to improve throughout the days ahead. Please tell me you didn't have double vision when you were playing a round of disc golf. That definitely would have been asking for trouble near the water hazards. Love that new hat, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteWell unfortunately the double vision doesn't turn on and off as it simply follows me everywhere for now.
