We made it and then again we didn't

The day came for us to leave and we were so excited. We headed down the road to Hickory Creek COE park. I know it is only 100 miles from the lake but we wanted to spend some time with our kids that live in that area.
We did get to spend some time with Jason and his wife, also Janet Ellie and Kristen. We had a real good visit with everyone and then we told them all good-bye until the next time we are in the area.
We stayed there until Thursday and then we headed west to Wichita Falls Texas where we got our first refuel at the Flying J. From there we drove to Childress Texas where we had planned to stay the night and visit my grandparent's grave the next morning. Well as things would have it there was no room at the Inn and we had to move on to Amarillo Texas
When we were about 50 miles from Amarillo Sherri began to call some RV parks to see if we could get in. Once again there was no room at the Inn. We began to panic somewhat thinking we would be on the side of the road...well we can boondock.
If you ever need a place to stay in Amarillo pass this place up for sure. AOK RV Park really sucks and that is being real nice. When we arrived at the campground there was no one there to help us and we were told that we had to go across the street to the convenience store to check in. That should have told me something. We found two spots that were in bad shape and they both had nails and screws all over the place.
OK so we moved on to the Flying J and refueled and then I pulled the RV over to the truck parking lot and found a spot open next to the diesel trucks. We did not put out any slides and just made room inside so we could sleep. I was worried that there might be too much truck noise to get any sleep at all but I was surprised at how quiet it was.
We woke up the next morning and ate at Denny's which was located there at the truck stop. After breakfast we drove across the Interstate and pulled into the Texas Information Center. We found a spot there to stay for a while and then head to our reserved park on the other side of town. That is where we are now. We have set up the RV and have our patio ready for tonight's refreshments.
We have a whole lot to plan and this will be a good place to do just that...while we relax here...
