Texas - August 2016

Returned for a couple of months, and took a RV trip to San Antonio - grandsons flew to Texas with Christie and Brandon who stayed in Austin, and we drove up to pick up the boys to spend a few days with them in San Antonio.  Weather was brutally hot - in the 100's. One of the air conditioners gave out in the motorhome, and we had a service guy come to us in the campground, who gave us the bad news that we needed a new A/C.  With only one of the two units operational, the temperature in the motorhome was 90 degrees in the front, and 98 in the back bedroom!  We had gone down about a week before we planned to get the boys, who were supposed to stay in the motorhome with us, but with the heat wave, and unable to get it repaired, we drove the motorhome 6+ hours back to Quitman, then turned around and drove back 6 hours in the car and got a hotel so we could have the boys with us.  It's always something !



































Feeding the Stingrays












Ready for the rain















After the IMAX movie about Texas'
fight for Independence, we went to see the actual Alamo




Fun at Dave & Buster's


Also saw the Riverwalk, Six Flags and Aquatica, a Waterpark in Sea World, with water slides and a great wave pool.  Despite the hot temps and intermittent rain, I think the boys had lots to do.



After we dropped them off with Christie and Brandon in Austin, we headed back to Quitman to set up repair appointments for the RV A/C and other problems.


Found something we've been looking for: New Boots for our bedroom....














Before we knew it, it was time to fly back home. Be back in January.

Ciao !
