Great Day!
We didn't have so far to go and felt more confidant with pulling the car, so we ate our cereal while we watched GMA and figured we might as well wait until rush traffic would be over in San Antonio. We left Fredericksburg on Highway 87 again and drove to Comfort. We found a gas station at the intersection just before we got on I-10 (we're not diesal Larry) where we could get in & out and it even had a McDonald's where Bob could get coffee. We got on I-10 and Bob asked, "how many miles are we on this?" and Bobbie answered immediately, "45 miles"--we had a really good laugh that she was listening in!
Before we left the driver had programmed Bobbie GPS to take us thru San Antonio because it looked like fewer miles than taking 410 around SA. But as we approached and got into that traffic it was pretty daunting to try to change lanes with our long "train" and we just muted Bobbie and proceeded on the loop. Very simple and easy to drive and onto I-37 headed to Corpus. We saw a picnic area which had a half circle drive that must have been at least a mile long and we had peanut butter sandwiches, carrots & apples at our table. Very peaceful and there were other motor homes parked there with us.
We turned off before we got to Corpus & headed cross a very flat rural area. We saw lots of palm trees beginning about 35 miles out of Corpus. We got here to Lagoons RV resort about 3 p.m. and after we checked they came with us and helped get the tow dolly off once Bob had driven the Cruiser off. Then they take the dolly to storeage so it is safe & not in the way. We have a really nice spot with a big tree. The neighbors on each side as well as several others came over to introduce themselves & meet us and we found everyone very welcoming.
After Bob got the water, electricity & tv hooked up (while I got the bathroom & kitchen "unpacked") we walked to the activity center. When we went in the choir was practicing--they have a non-denominational service on Sundays--and so we joined them! One of the gals knew Gypsy & James Kemmer from the east campus & walked us to their RV and we had a good visit with them. We really think we are going to enjoy it here! So many things to do here at the campground and as well as in the area that it looks like the month will go quickly!

ReplyDeleteWhen we pulled out of our driveway yesterday morning the odometer read 4900, and when we parked in our site here at the Lagoons it read 5600. How's that for nice round numbers! I won't mention the miles per gallon - weep, weep.
After choir, we actually visited with James & Gypsy Herrington - Sandi had a senior moment.
I went back to the activity center this evening and found more than three dozen playing poker and euchre. I was seeking info on how to get wifi, because I was having difficulty getting connected. They told me about a fellow that teaches computer classes here, and it turned out he is in a site just three away from ours. So I called on Tom for assistance. He came to our motor home, and for ten bucks for the month connected me to his own wifi service which is five bars strong. Sometime this week I'm going to see if I can manage to get a card reader to plug in to our laptop so that we can add photos to our blog.
The Lagoons RV Resort has over 280 RV sites and a dozen cottages. A small city. We've looked over the weekly event schedule and see plenty of activities to catch our interest.
