MISSISSIPPI, IPPISSISSIM. Friday 3/6- Saturday 3/7 Biloxi, Gulfport and Ocean Springs were so so so good to us. 2 hours from New Orleans to Biloxi! Our stay at Gulf Beach RV Resort was simply too short. Turns out the location used to be a motel, but now it’s a pretty high-class RV park. We met a ton of WWII and Vietnam vets; 18 couples with … Continue reading Stop 16- Biloxi, Mississippi

Sunday March 1, 2020 through Friday, March 6, 2020 I’ll tell you something, the roads into New Orleans from Houston are pretty rough. Lots of construction, very narrow areas with concrete blocks boarding each side and inches from the line- not much leeway for sway! There were a few times that I really wanted to pass, but had to bag it- passing a semi with … Continue reading Stop 15- New Orleans, LA

We left San Antonio on Friday, 2/28 and we had holy cow moment on our way to Houston! We have spent an entire month in Texas! Wasn’t intentional, but it’s a huge state, it takes a long time to traverse and, well, frankly, there’s just a TON to see. I’m a huge, huge fan of Texas now. We were in Houston Friday and Saturday leaving … Continue reading Stop 14- Houston, TX

Yehaw! If you read our post about our adventures in Medina Lake, you can only imagine our blissful happiness when we rolled into San Antonio’s KOA. This KOA 2015 Campground of the Year did NOT disappoint. We arrived on Friday, 2/21 and got settled for our stay through the 28th. After some exploration of the camp, we decided to just hang out around camp that … Continue reading Stop 13- San Antonio, TX

Monday 2/17 – Friday, 2/21 Lakehills, TX is a small, rural community. We chose to stay here because we needed a place for a few days before the KOA in San Antonio would be available- the San Antonio Rodeo was running from February 3-28th and it limited availability quite a bit. When we purchased our camper, we were given a free membership from Blue Dog … Continue reading Stop 12- Medina Lake in Lakehills, TX

February 9th – February 17th We truly had an incredible week. While the weather seems to continue to follow us across the country, it’s just made us all that more appreciative of sunshine! We saw Indy 500 cars at COTA, we went to see Austin’s Capitol building, we went boating and tubing on the Colorado River, hiked around the shoreline at Pace Bend Park and … Continue reading Stop 11- Spicewood/ Briarcliff, TX. Travis County off of the Colorado River. aka- Mama D’s house!

Monday, February 10th – one sleep We needed a quick stop over on our way to Austin from Terlingua, otherwise it would have been an 8 hour drive. Sonora Caverns had a brochure at Carlsbad we picked up and then again, someone told us about it in Terlingua, so off we went. I called ahead looking to see if we could get a reservation, but … Continue reading Stop 10- Sonora Caverns in Sonora, TX

Tuesday, February 4th – Sunday, February 9th We arrived on Tuesday and were greeted with the warmest weather we have encountered on this entire trip- 76 degrees and full sunshine. But, by 7:00pm that evening, we were on high alert for a winter storm watch bringing in high winds, snow, sleet and rain and temperatures in the 30s. We had been staying ahead of the … Continue reading Stop 9- Terlingua, TX- Big Bend National Park

Saturday, February 1 – Tuesday February 4th Fort Davis, TX was a good midway stopping point for us between Carlsbad Caverns and Big Bend National Park. On the way, we decided to stop by Guadalupe Mountains National Park so we could pick up a few stamps for the kids’ National Parks Passports and a sticker for the camper. We thought it would be fun to … Continue reading Stop 8 – Fort Davis, TX

January 30th- February 1st, 2020 2010 Census put White’s City at a population of 7. Yep. 7. But there are about a half a million visitors that pass by each year. Why? Well, it’s 7 miles from White’s City to Carlsbad Caverns and you have to pass right through White’s City to get there. Talk about a captive audience. Town was a little silly and … Continue reading Stop 7- Carlsbad Caverns & White’s City, NM
