After a stay in Livingston to get mail, car inspection, etc., we headed over to San Antonio. There, we stayed at a couple places. First, we spent a couple days in town at the Carefree Travelers World RV Resort in San Antonio. This was a pretty nice, clean park. They were pretty full, and the spot we got barely fit our RV length. The location of the park was what we were after, as it was close to the Alamo, and provided a good launch pad to get to the local Sea World, and up to Austin. Our first day there, we headed into town for the Alamo, and we were all surprised the the size, location, and such. It’s quite the tourist attraction. After milling about there for a while, we headed to the river walk sections, and had fun with more crowds and detours around work areas. Eventually we found a fantastic Mexican restaurant called the Guadalajara Grill, and got some dinner. It had a fun atmosphere, and great Mexican food that hit the spot.
The next day, we went up to Auston. The main purpose was to visit a work colleague of mine, but we took some time to also visit the capital building of my state of residency. Molly was able to add another stamp in her “State Capital Passport” book. The capital buildings are all running together, but this one seemed pretty nice, with lot’s of information and historic photo’s on the walls. We were able to get in to see all the buildings too, since we were there on a Sunday. For the afternoon and evening, we enjoyed a great visit and meal with a fantastic family there in Austin.
While still “in town” in San Antonio, we hit up Sea World. It was a bit of an off season time for them, but we were still able to see much of the park, and get a good feel for it. I bet it’s hoping in the Summer, with ski shows and a water park area. Molly got a caricature done as well. This visit also means that Diane, and Molly have now been to all three of the Sea World locations. I haven’t been to Orlando, or it would have been for me too.
Once our “in town” tasks were done, we headed to the famous Texas Hill Country, and stayed at the Thousand Trails park called Medina Lake, in Lakehills, TX. We were there for a few days, working, and enjoying the quiet of the hills. We also had LOTS of activity with deer. We even picked up a big bag of feed corn for them on one trip to the market.
The lake at Medina Lake is very low. I read up on it a bit, and it seems to be a normal cycle of drought and flood. A few more years, and they should be back to a full/too full lake again. It’s already a nice place in the woods, but the lake would make it that much better.
Our next stop is Carlsbad, NM.
