Dec 18, 2019 Today was finally the day we were going to head out.  I was a bit nervous, as today was the day we were actually starting to head towards Mexico.  Everything up to now was really just practice and preparation.  Before we weren’t going to Mexico, we were just taking the scenic route…

Dec 17, 2019 We were planning to leave today to start heading south towards Mexico.  The nights are getting very chilly at 37 degrees.  However the day was sunny and warm, there were kids for Olivia to play with and at $7.50 a night it was cheap so we decided to stay an extra day. …

Dec 16, 2019 It was going to be a rainy, stormy day but we still had our appointment with the mechanic so were at Acres Outdoors by our 9 AM appointment.  There was a nice little store with free coffee, hot chocolate, and popcorn.  An hour and half and $223 later, we had our car…

Dec 15, 2019 We woke up in the morning to discover that two more families with kids had arrived.  Elliott and Hope had two kids and Angelo and Wendy had three kids.  All of a sudden there were now eight kids from ages 2 to 12 all parked within sight of each other.  Olivia quickly…

Dec 14, 2019 Our main job for the day was to get the leaking window fixed.  Olivia played with Josh and this worked out for us very well as it gave us time to remove and reseal the leaky window.  This took a couple of hours but mostly because this was the first time we…

Dec 13, 2019 We got back to the Rainbow’s End RV park in Livingston and the first thing we did was to pick up our mail.  Our driver’s license, car title and Holly’s lens had arrived so we were all set, except that Holly’s driver’s license listed her eye color as blue instead of brown.…

Dec 12, 2019 Our big adventure for the day was to go to the Houston Chinatown.  We took an easy morning and didn’t leave the Cracker Barrel until almost 11 AM.  The Houston Chinatown is nothing like the Chinatown in San Francisco as there is nothing scenic or touristy about it at all.  It consists…

Dec 11, 2019 We woke up to a bright and sunny day.  Holly wanted to do some stuff on the internet so I dropped her and Olivia off at Starbucks while I went to Home Depot to look for some window sealant and get gas.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the brand of sealant I wanted…

Dec 10, 2019 It was forecasted to rain all day so and when we got up it was raining and we found that one of our windows was leaking a little as well as the AC unit on the roof.  In addition our furnace was making a continuous clicking sound.  Sigh, of course we would…

Dec 9, 2019 We had killed enough time in Galveston and it was time to start heading back to Livingston to see if our driver’s licenses and car title had arrived.  We weren’t in a hurry though, it was Monday and I targeted Friday to be back in Livingston as that would be three full…
