We really enjoy Colorado Landing and returned for another visit.
The presidential museums are on our bucket list, but all were pretty much closed by Covid. We were unable to go to Truman’s although we went right by on our last tour, and we could have gone a little out of the way to Eisenhower’s had it not been closed. We caught George W. Bush’s right as it was re-opening.
We had wanted to see the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument since we came through Kearney in 2019. We also took trips to the Pioneer Village and the Nebraska Firefighters Museum.

Location:
Broke Mill RV Park
Del Rio, TX
We stayed at Broke Mill RV Park, a really large and spacious park with long sites separated by bushes for privacy.
On the way from La Grange to San Felipe de Austin, we passed through New Ulm, where my great grandfather is buried. Driving around outside the park, we came across the San Felipe de Austin Historic Site. We wound up making a trip back to New Ulm to see if we could locate the gravesite.
ElizaBeth had always wanted to visit the Texas Quilt Museum and we also ran across the Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center. Driving in, we came through Roundtop, Texas, which looks like it wants to become the next antique center of Texas. If you’ve ever watched Barnwood Builders you’ll know they just opened a place – and we had to see it.
We knew the Little Creamery in Brenham was close because we come right by there on the way to Goodrich. ElizaBeth did the planning, we took the dogs to day-camp and she drove us up.
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.
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.
