Oh, what a lovely day! There was not a cloud in the sky and although chilly, the sun was shining brightly, and the forecast called for low 50s. We spent a leisurely morning, then for lunch we slapped a couple ribeye’s on the Blackstone griddle, added a kale salad, and orange juice to drink. ItContinue reading “Merry Christmas, 2022 Day 9 Fredericksburg, TX”

We spent today planning our next few locations and making reservations. Ron and Justice visited the dog park too and met a few dogs there. After a nice dinner, we went downtown Fredericksburg to check out their Christmas decorations and lights. Our campground neighbors said it was really amazing but that’s an understatement. This wasContinue reading “Dec 24, 2022 Day 8 Fredericksburg, TX”

It was chilly overnight, dipping into the single digits. Early this morning, Justice decided he would jump into bed with Ron. The Australian Aborigines used to judge how cold the night was based on the number of dogs they needed to sleep beside to stay warm. As big as Justice is, I think last nightContinue reading “Dec 23, 2022 Day 7 Fredericksburg, TX”

Today we worked preparing for the upcoming freezing temperatures. Ron completely winterized the camper with anti-freeze in the water lines and tanks. We bought gallons of water to use for drinking and cooking, and for Justice. We are a few steps away from heated bathrooms, too that makes it a bit easier for us. TheContinue reading “Dec 22, 2022 Day 6 Fredericksburg, TX”

We were greeted by overcast skies and foggy weather this morning. It dipped into the mid30s overnight, but the forecast is calling for low50s and partly cloudy – which we enjoyed later in the day. I worked a few hours, then we were itching to do something. There is a nature trail here at theContinue reading “Dec 21, 2022 Day 5 Fredericksburg, TX”

Today was one of those days that was filled with enjoyable moments all at a leisurely pace. We started out getting our laundry done – it was 11 days since our last trip to a laundromat, but it doesn’t take long to do and it’s great getting everything cleaned. We then visited the Pioneer MuseumContinue reading “Dec 20, 2022 Day 4 Fredericksburg, TX”

It rained early, then drizzled off and on all day with temps in the upper 40s. The forecast calls for partly sunny and mid50s the next three days – until the Polar Express arrives Thursday evening. It is going to be really cold everywhere including here and forecast is calling for 9 degrees overnight andContinue reading “Dec 19, 2022 Day 3 Fredericksburg, TX”

We are enjoying our stay here at Fredericksburg so much that we booked another full week. Today we toured the Pacific War Museum located downtown here. Why is there a Pacific War Museum in the heart of Texas? We wondered the same thing, until we learned that Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was born andContinue reading “Dec 18, 2022 Day 2 Fredericksburg, TX”

We left Waco around 8:30am under cloudy skies, heading south to Hill Country and the next campsite in Fredericksburg, TX. It’s fairly flat around Waco but the further south we went, it became hilly and covered with scrub trees that must be a type of evergreen. We saw ranches with high fences, too with herdsContinue reading “Dec 17, 2022 Day 1 Fredericksburg, TX”

We leave tomorrow to head further south to Fredericksburg, TX. It is 3 hours south of here in what is called the ‘Hill Country’ of Central Texas. It is a picturesque area of the State and for many, it’s considered the most beautiful. Today it’s raining off and on with a strong cold wind outContinue reading “Dec 16, 2022 Day 5 Waco, TX”

Another day of sunshine, temperatures are expected to reach 60 degrees but with abundant sunrise, very doable. After a short day of work, we decided to visit the Magnolia Market that was created by Chip and Joanna Gaines, known for their HGTV’s Fixer Upper series. It is a unique marketplace in downtown Waco that encompassesContinue reading “Thursday, Dec 15 Day 4 Waco, TX”

We saw our first sunrise and sunset since leaving Ohio and what a welcome site it was! Ron & Justice have a routine each morning to walk around the campground. Justice seems to love it – not sure if it’s the walk or all the smells or that he gets to potty, but he lovesContinue reading “Wednesday, Dec 14, Day 3 Waco, TX”

Rain off and on this morning but forecast has it stopping around 1:30pm CT. It’s warm, upper 60s / low 70s, and on occasion, we were excited to see blue skies – 2nd time during the past 8 days! We are starting to think our Vitamin D levels must be getting low :). Between walks,Continue reading “December 13, 2022 Day 2 Waco, TX”

It was a long drive today, 400 miles from Gulpha Gorge in Hot Springs to Midway RV Campgrounds in Waco, TX. Ron did well, getting quite comfortable pulling the Airstream and with no rain, good roads, although not ideal to travel that far in one day it went pretty well. Our goal was to stayContinue reading “December 12, 2022 Hot Springs to Waco, TX”

Today is our last day at Hot Springs and we decided to clean the camper inside and out, charge devices, and catch up on the blog. It’s chilly today and overcast, hope to get to some sunshine next week. We originally planned to stay in Texarkana area but after seeing the weather forecast, we optedContinue reading “December 11, 2022 Day 5 Hot Springs”
