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.

Heading for Galveston

I'm disappointed. I figured when we got to Texas that we would see a bunch of guys with cowboy hats saying things like Y'all and talking funny. For the most part, you wouldn't even know you were in Texas. Also I pictured miles and miles of flat barren land. We have been driving through some nice hilly country with beautiful green grass, oak and pecan trees and cow farms along the way. I guess we aren't in the right part of Texas, or maybe we are.

Today we landed in Columbus Texas. It is a stop over on our way to Galveston. The weather reports said we were in for Thunder storms today but it has been a really nice day. The sun has been popping in and out all day and I had to run the air while traveling because it was in the high 70s outside all day. We will be spending the night in a Walmart parking lot tonight. If this wasn't such a nice little town, I would be worried because we are the only RV in the parking lot. You kind of get a more comfortable feeling when there are others around. When we parked here I went into the Walmart and asked the greeter if it was OK to stay. She said yes and pointed to my motorhome and said park out there. I said, where that motorhome is, and she said yes. I didn't tell her that was my motorhome.
