We landed here in Galveston

I was up yesterday morning at 4:45. The coffee was ready. Sherri was still sleeping so I let her sleep. After all this is her first day of retirement and she deserved this time.
I sat down at the computer to see what every one was up to. I read several journals and then commented on Facebook.
Soon it was time for me to get started loading all our stuff in the MH and unhook the electrical and the water.  Sherri was up by the time I got back inside. I helped her get some of the inside things done.
We got everything ready by 8:30 and soon we were heading toward the inspection center to get the MH inspected. On the way there I noticed it wasn't the inspection sticker that was out it was the license plates. I was really glad I noticed it before I got to the inspection place. I could see me asking them for an inspection and them wondering why I was doing it 6 months early. How embarrassing would that be.
We had not hooked up the Jeep so I called Sherri, who was following me and told her about the mistake I had made. We pulled over at the first truck stop we came to and hooked up the Jeep. I noticed that one of the keeper pins were missing so I had to run in the truck center and buy me one



Got all that done and we were on the road at about 9:30. Everything was going good until we hit construction on Hwy 19. Got past all that and then when we hit Interstate 45 more construction. The roads were so ruff that one of my jacks dropped down just enough to set off the alarm. We found a large parking lot and pulled in to fix the jack.
I was really hoping about this time that all was OK and we could finish out the last 28 miles without construction or MH problems.


Yeah! We made it without any further problems and pulled into the park about 4:30. Got our spot and now we are settled in.


We have a nice site with a good view...not great but good.















Tomorrow I will set up the rest of our stuff for the month long stay and then start planning some of Kris's birthday adventures...here...
