Stephen F. Austin State Park, San Felipe TX

Dates:
September 07, 2020 to
September 14, 2020

Mileage:
8,054

Location:
Stephen F. Austin State Park
San Felipe, TX

After we left La Grange, we went down the road to Stephen F. Austin State Park, and this time we were on the Brazos River. The original 300 settlers of Texas (“Old 300”) started at San Felipe, TX, so when we went from the Colorado to the Brazos Rivers, we were in the area where Texas was born. Over the years as the immigrants arrived by boat, the two rivers were frequently confused, and Fort Bend was founded in its current location when settlers mistook the mouth of the Brazos for the Colorado River:

Waco, Somewhat Back on the Road Again while Social Distancing

Dates:
May 12, 2020 to
May 13, 2020

Mileage:
7,388

Location:
I35 RV Park
Elm Mott (Waco), TX

I still get tired easily, and we never have liked to drive more than a few hours anyway – and Waco fit the bill at 196 miles. Coming through College Station on Highway 6, we ran into a vicious thunderstorm. I was glad to stop when we did.

NRG Park, the Rodeo is coming to town, the 8th Wonder of the World, and the RV Show

The Houston RV Show was at NRG Park and while we have an RV, we like to look and besides, there are usually booths advertising places to visit. I think we had more fun walking around the park.

Fort Bend Museum and Moore Home

When we went to Rosenburg, we passed through Richmond and saw the Fort Bend Museum. We went back and made a day out of it, starting at the Sandy McGees and continuing the search for the best cheeseburger.

Imperial Sugar and Houston’s Eclectic Menagerie Park

ElizaBeth had wanted to see the Imperial Sugar Mill in Sugarland since we had been here, and we finally made it. The hours are limited.

College Station and the G.H.W. Bush Presidential Library Center

Our bucket list – and it’s long – has had the Presidential libraries on it for a while. We have seen Clinton’s library together, and we wanted to see the G.H.W. Bush Presidential Library Center in College Station while we were in Livingston. The detour got in the way a little bit, but we thought we might get a weekend off before treatments started. However, since College Station is 90 minutes away, we had to find a way to take care of Sugar, Izzy, and little Pepper.

Rosenberg (TX) Railroad Museum

Heather and Jose wanted to join us for lunch, so we met at the Ol’ Rail Road Cafe in Rosenburg. I had seen the Rosenburg Railroad Museum on the map, and since ElizaBeth and I are always early wherever we go, we swung by there before lunch.

Houston Museum Natural Science (HMNS Sugarland)

While moored in Houston, we wanted to keep the tours and adventures alive, and the Houston Museum of Natural History in Sugarland is just down the street.

Christmas 2020, visits from Santa Claus and some of the family

I’m a firm believer that “wanting what you have” is the key to happiness, and if 2019 wasn’t the Christmas we planned, we had each other and that’s most important of all. Julia and Stephanie came down from north Texas and we went to Rain Forest Cafe, and we met Heather and Jose in Rosenburg at the Ol’ Rail Road Cafe.
