Our New House

It was brought to my attention that we haven’t updated our Blog since 2013. Since we have become stagnant and haven’t really traveled for a while I didn’t have much of interest to post. Not that our life isn’t interesting, there just isn’t much RV Travel going on.

Well recently we have turned another page in our lives. We decided since we like our lifestyle so much that buying a house wasn’t in our plans. However we have pretty much outgrown the RV so…

We bought a Park Model home in the same resort where we have lived for the last 11 years in the motor home. If you are not familiar with a Park Model, it is a small 400 square foot manufactured home. Ours however is a bit more than a simple park model. First off ours is set in the ground so it is ground level, then a 200 square foot addition was added making it 600 square foot overall and the whole thing is stuccoed and the roof is tiled. There is also a 117 square foot building on the property, which serves as a laundry room and a shop. This building is attached to the house by a covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Along with the real residential appliances they topped it off with an air conditioner that can turn the house into a meat locker in the 120-degree Arizona summers. You can see more photos by clicking on the link in the left column.

I have added a link to the photos of our house HERE.

So, although we are keeping the motor home, it looks like we are not Fulltimers anymore.

Best wishes to all our readers and I hope your travels are as enjoyable as ours.

I will leave the Blog up because I know others enjoy reading about our travels.

A day in Galveston

As I said before, everything is on stilts around here. The lower left is a hotel on a pier. That must be one strong pier to hold up a large hotel, especially during a hurricane. The lower right is a new construction. There is a lot of that going on around here. We saw a sign that said they were selling lots for $20,000 to $60,000. We didn’t see any prices for a completed construction.

In the above photos, the top 2 show homes along the many canals. I guess these guys are lucky. They can get to their house even after the hurricanes flood the area. The bottom 2 photos are of the downtown area.

What can I say… The beach.

We were lucky to have really good weather while we were here. They were predicting thunder storms for today but they never materialized. It was a nice warm day. I am kind of disappointed I haven’t seen an armadillo. They say there are some around here.

We are back on the road tomorrow. We are heading for Lake Charles Louisiana and going to stay at the Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Camp-Resort, should be interesting. Since it is getting close to the weekend and we try to stay off the roads on the weekend, we will be hanging out until Monday.
