We have had a mild, polite fall.  Then, a few days before leaving it just had to snow.


Ohio sucked.  While it wasn't really snowing, the roads were dumping ample quantities of salt water all over the motorhome and toad.  Didn't find a chance to take a nap and got to Cave City, Kentucky pretty tired.  But had a nice walk with the dogs and slept well.

There is a very cool rest area well situated for a nap.  It is a Tennessee Valley Authority solar site.  They have truck parking and a separate section for bus and RVs.  There is excellent dog walking.



At that site they have a dog park with an agility track.  Cool.

The North Little Rock KOA is darn near full.  Not sure why, but it is.  Got a decent site and we're comfortable.

Had a problem with the brake controller and had a side-trip to Legacy Ford once in Rosenberg.

On arrival I presented Matthew with his childhood transformer toy.  And that led to this.



We headed out to Galveston and I have the first photos of the motorhome under the new home.





   





We have an owl that hunts in front of the deck.



We took a trip to Palacious, Texas to visit Liam's grandparents, Scott and Rebecca.  Much fishing and walking was done.








We went on to Port Aransas and spent a few days exploring that area.  We had an interesting campsite where there is an owner who purchased a site, improved it and then rents it.  They were really nice sites to just live in.  Like you were in an apartment.  Like an assisted living for older RVers.  Nice but lacking in exploration and adventure.



We rented a golf cart and toured the beach.  Like most of the Gulf Coast the sand was solid enough for any sort of vehicle, including forty-foot diesel pusher motorhomes.

We stopped at a great community playground.



This is the BEST SWING EVER!!!!!!



Here's Landon helping Papa at Papa's house.





Here's Odo's windsock ears.  You know the wind is blowing at 12 knots or more if both ears go up.




The temperature dropped from the 80s to the 50s and I learned that Herons move from fishing to hunting.  Their water-based food becomes lethargic in the cold so they move up to mice, squirrels, snakes and other creatures in the local fields.  I had three hunting in the field across from my house.  THe first is a heron who sleeps for hours in the middle of the field.









First time I've seen kite surfing in Galveston!


Here's a direct link to the video.
