Dec 8, 2019 After boondocking for a few days it was time to clean up so we went to the Sandpiper RV resort nearby.  This is also an excellent RV Park and at $45 even cheaper than Dellanera.  Closer to the downtown attractions and right next to Stewart’s beach the location was more central but…

Dec 7, 2019 We woke up in the morning to find a family had set up a tent next to us.  Of course Olivia had to go out and play with their kids and fly a kite so we spent the morning just hanging out.  Then I drove us to the Rainbow Café in search…

Dec 6, 2019 After a terrible night’s sleep we needed an easy day but Olivia had slept like a toddler through everything and would still need to be entertained.  I drove us to the Strand where I found a parking lot for $10 near the tourist attractions.  We didn’t want to go to anything too…

Dec 5, 2019 Woke up to a beautiful, warm morning and since it was so night we decided that it was time to clean Rover the RV.  I washed the outside of Rover while Holly cleaned the inside. Rover had been on the road for a while and while the rain a week ago had…

Dec 4, 2019 I was planning on going to the Houston Space Center but it had been 3 days since Holly had gotten her tattoo and it was time to take off her bandage and take a shower per their recommendation.  Looking at the RV parks near Houston they were all around $50.  We were…

Dec 3, 2019 It was too late to ship out Holly’s lens the night before so our first order of business was to go to the UPS store to pack and ship out Holly’s lens.  We had to hurry because it would take some time for the lens to get to the Cannon repair facility…

Dec 2, 2019 Olivia had been wanting to get Hot Pot for a while so we went to the Chinatown in Houston and had lunch at 75 BBQ and Hot Pot Buffet.  The restaurant only had a few people in it but we could immediately tell that it was a good spot.  It had a…

Dec 1, 2019 The weather finally turned good and we woke up to a beautiful perfect sunny day.  While most of the rest of the country including California was dealing with unseasonable snowstorms (even closed Hwy 5 over the grapevine near LA!) it was sunny and 72 degrees in Houston.  We took advantage of the…

Nov 30, 2019 Back on road again and we made it about 45 miles down the road.  The weather was still cloudy and rainy so we stopped at the Deerbrook Mall in Humble, TX.  It was 80 degrees with intermittent showers so it was not very pleasant to be in the RV but of course…

Nov 29, 2019 Tomorrow we were going to leave Livingston and head down to Houston so we had a few chores to do.  We topped off our propane tank, got filled up the gas for a reasonable $2.12 a gallon and I made a halfhearted attempt to fix the broken plastic molding under our door…
