Wow, our two weeks stay in North Carolina visiting our daughter and her family flew by!. We really had fun with playing with Allie,our 2.5 year old granddaughter who has acquired a huge vocabulary, is fun, exuberant and always on the go. We also enjoyed snuggles with Emmy our newest granddaughter who is beautiful.Katie and Brooks have made a great life in North Carolina and it was great sharing it with them. Although it was sad to say our goodbyes we knew it was time for us to leave.
We had to catch our flight back to Texas. Fortunately, we didn't have any problems with our flights and we arrived on time, retrieved our car which was still in good shape and ready to roll. We drove back over to College Station but on our way we stopped by to visit Lone Pint Brewery in Magnolia Texas. It’s a pleasant outdoor venue and serves some nice craft beer so we think it is worth a visit if you're in the area.
We made it back home without any ordeals and were glad to see our RV in great shape. It’s always a bit concerning to leave our RV home for long stretches of time. We stayed in College Station for 5 more days before hitting the road.
With Sharon having been gone 3 months we revisited many of the spots that we love in our former hometown including a nice walk around the campus of Texas A&M University. With one last weekend, we also visited friends to say our goodbyes and to have one last weekend of fun with them. Monday rolled around and it was time to pack up the RV and start our trek westward.
The pictures in today’s blog are from my visit to the Texas Renaissance Festival while Sharon was still in North Carolina. I always enjoy people watching at this particular festival in Plantersville, Texas.
Our future plans are to winter in Mesa Arizona again this year. Before heading there our next stop is at Canyon Lake in Texas. While there we will visit our son and his family one more time in San Antonio before leaving Texas. After that we want to revisit some backroads and stay at some of our favorite places we have stayed at before.
Follow us on the road of retirement..
Enjoy your family visit. Continued safe travels to Mesa.
ReplyDeleteWill you be going to Puerto Peñasco this trip? Our RV could use some painting too :)
Looks like I was able to get an "appointment" in PP for April 4th.
