Houston....It Feels Like We Have Returned Home

Mama was almost giddy as we passed by our old stomping grounds here in Houston.  She pointed out her favorite restaurants, of course.  We zoomed past the exit to our old campground.  We are on the other side of the city this time.

We left Sherman, TX about 7 a.m. this morning.  We drove through Dallas.
Dallas, TX

A greyhound bus passed us.  We really need to clean the windshield.
Even horses need potty breaks at rest areas.

Yep, this is Houston traffic on a Sunday afternoon. We expected it.


We were surprised how heavy the traffic was an hour outside of Houston when we were in the middle on nowhere.

We arrived at our new campground around 1:30 p.m.   It is a nice place. It is what Mama expected which is concrete pad after concrete pad.  There is not a lot of area for us to walk except in the street. Dogs are not allowed on the path around the lake.  We think that is rude. They have three dog runs and the one closest to us is like a box. However, there is a pretty large one just down the street from us and we could even run a little in that one if we get the urge.  Mama is very happy that they have the large dog run.

The folks drove to Dad's workplace tonight and it is about nine miles away.  They then went out to eat at Mama's favorite steak place, Saltgrass Steak House.  She will write a review later on it.

Tomorrow, we will help Mama organize things in Goldie.  The folks will go grocery shopping after Dad gets home from work.  They decided to wait because the stores were really crowded and they were tired tonight.

We are happy and content to be living our dream once again.

  4. It's a good feeling to finally get to your destination, so you can settle in. Sorry it's not as dog-friendlly as the last time you were in Houston.
