Huachuca City

Today we rode to Huachuca City for Paul to visit a dealer and then took a nice drive thru the mountains to Nogales which is an entry point to Mexico.  We did not go there!

We stopped in a quiet little town called Patagonia where we saw a 1912 school that has been converted into a museum



Then we continued towards Tucson where the RV is parked with a stop in Tubac which is an art town.  Lots of tiny shops with all kinds of things.  The true art was expensive so I didn't get anything

More exploring in Buda, Texas

 Today I just wanted to relax and enjoy this amazing weather we are having.  It has been in the high 70's for several days now, amazing it is just the start of February.  We packed a light lunch and headed into Austin to find a picnic spot on Lady Bird Johnson Lake.  A very nice urban park will a trail on both sides of the river(they call it a lake).  We enjoyed our picnic and then took a walk of about 2 miles.  I think we saw one other couple that was our age; everyone looked like they were in college!  Young, buff, tanned and wearing jogging wear.  Oh well, we had a very nice walk.   Then we found McKinney Falls State Park , not the greatest park but not the worse.  We expected waterfalls but at this time of year they were a trickle. Teddy did not want to cross the water. A very small waterfall, this is the upper falls? Then Paul wants to stay off the interstate and so we enjoyed much of eastern Austin!  The landscape is not beaut...

Family Time with the Roberts

I t doesn’t happen often but we took a plane ride to Virginia where all of Pauls siblings except Susan got together in Luray.  Very cool caves. Paul and I got there a day early so we did some exploring of the area where we found the Route 11 Potato Chip Factory. You got to watch the workers making and processing the chips. Boy do they use a lot of salt. Then you got as many small bags as you wanted to taste. They had all the usuals, and then they had Dill Pickle flavor (tasted just like a dill pickle). My favorite was the no salt ones. All the chips were Kettle type. We ended up buying a huge bag of bbq and plain and a bunch of bags of mixed flavors for our family picnic tomorrow. The amount of salt put onto chips was astonishing  Then we found a Cooters with all the memorabilia from Dukes of Hazard. We even went back for an afternoon of a small band doing blue grass music. ...

Finally! Texas warmed up and we are here

 We left Tucson on Monday and arrived in Texas on Thursday!  Texas is big, not sure I want to do this trip for awhile.  Once you leave Las Cruzes, New Mexico there is nothing until you get to Hill Country.  We did get off the interstate before Bourne and so we enjoyed all the little towns and wineries!  It is starting to look like Napa CA with all the fancy wineries.  I'm told they are not near as expensive! Paul worked Friday so Teddy and I enjoyed a quiet day relaxing in the campground of one of Pauls dealers!  FREE!  One of the perks he has!  It was cold overnight but the weather man promises warm. Warm,  he was right!  We slept with the windows open and only one blanket. We didn't even need the little heater!  Yeah!!!  Saturday and Sunday are our days of exploring.  We have been to this area many times so I took my sisters recommendation and went to a Silo Gallery glass blowing shop in San Marcos where you can wat...
