George West Texas

We left Bentsen Palm Village RV Resort yesterday around 0930.  Taking our time to pack up and remember everything that needed to be done to travel.  Forgot to take the swim noodles off the bedroom slide...no problem, just unlock the door, go inside and send the slide out a few inches then reverse the steps. 

Our first stop was getting the rig inspected....pretty sure that was the first time since the original inspection ten years ago. So we're good to travel about again.

Wednesday evening we had dinner out with our friends Jeni and Don Wilson at what's turning out to be our favorite restaurant in the Valley, La Playa. Good food and our waitress, Lulu was excellent!  Most of all it was good company.  We look forward to returning to Bentsen Palm this winter not only to see the Wilsons but other friends who will be making their way south for the season.

Since we weren't sure how long the rig inspection would take we decided on this overnight stay in George West at the Rocking J campground.  Nice and clean with mostly grass sites that looked spaced out. We got a pull through with full hook ups for $20.  It also has a slab!  And it was level!  

Coming up Highway 281 we didn't see any damage from Hurricane Harvey.  This area is pretty far inland and northwest of Corpus Christi.  We stopped for lunch just after 1100 but neither of us ate much. We were eager to get to our destination.

Once we set up we relaxed a bit, had a beer and a bite to eat.  Jim napped for a bit then went out to top up the fuel on the truck.  Our evening was filled with quiet activities and a prerecorded episode of NCIS New Orleans.  Love that we don't have to worry about setting up the dish for one night go television.

Today we'll continue our journey to San Antonio and enjoy the sights and food of one of our favorite cities.

All is right in our world
