We’ve traveled in our RV to New Orleans twice before, and each time the highway takes us through the bayou, we dream of being on a boat getting up close and personal with the creatures that inhabit the murky water, and moss covered trees. Well, today was our lucky day. After a little research and asking the locals, we settled…

The first time we took our coach and tow on a ferry I was both excited, and a little nervous. Logically, I know the ferries are used by commercial vehicles every day, and our RV wouldn’t throw a monkey wrench in anyone’s floating transport plans. I still imagined the whole thing tipping over under the weight of our coach, versus…

UPDATE! Videos added. Let’s hear it for better internet! After another fun night of wine and Mexican Train, we woke up hungry for breakfast. We decided to try a popular place, and sure enough, we waited a while for a table, right along with everyone else. Miller’s Seawall Grill is known for their breakfasts, and ours didn’t disappoint. Brent was hungry…

Built in 1892, Bishop’s Palace, known as Gresham House when first built, is one of the most ornate Victorian late 1800’s high society mansions in Galveston, and a historic landmark. It’s easy to imagine life back in Galveston’s glorious heyday when inside this beautiful home. There are a number of historic homes on and around Broadway in Galveston known as “The Broadway…

Galveston, OHHH, Galveston. I still hear your seawinds blowing… Full disclosure. The last time we were here I made the same reference on my old blog. If you hear the song in your head, you’re as old as me. If you don’t, well, it’s a catchy tune. Our dear friends, Brent and Jill, decided to join us for a few days…

On the road for a bit, it was time to find a place to stop for lunch. We’re in a part of Texas that has plenty of fast food chains, but not many local eateries that are anything to write home about. Trip Advisor, Yelp, Urbanspoon, and Foursquare are all good to help steer one in the right direction. Heck,…

We stayed at Traveler’s World RV Park while in San Antonio. I wanted to find a nice, secure, well-appointed park to stay at that was close to downtown, and this place fit the bill quite nicely. The office staff were friendly, There were groundskeepers constantly grooming, and maintenance guys buzzing about. We’d recommend this place for sure. While we weren’t going…

Hello San Antonio! It’s been three days since we’ve left San Diego. Each day we have endured 7+ hours on the road. It’s always that way if we are traveling any further than New Mexico via I-10. It’s totally worth the few long days of vast desert, because now that it’s in our rearview mirror for this trip, we can…

We stopped for lunch at a place that holds fond memories for us. The last time we ate at this little Mexican restaurant we were traveling with Steve’s dad and mom, Dick and Marlene, and Auntie Glenda and Uncle Barry (Dick’s brother and his wife). La Mexicana Restaurant is in Sonora, Texas, another small town with good folks. and the timing is right…

Van Horn, Texas. It’s a small town smack-dab in the middle of Texas no-where-land when heading east on I-10. Up bright and early to leave Tucson for a long day on the road, we were prepared for the stretch of highway that lie ahead. There’s a tourist trap that claims to be at the Continental Divide. Let it be…
