Part 3 Of Our Last Vacation In Our Motor Home

Part 3 of our vacation lasted longer than we expected due to Hurricane Harvey.  We stayed at a park near our old hometown.  We went there to see the eclipse.  We had a total eclipse which was really cool.

Waiting for the eclipse.

There it is!

It went dark!

This is right when it ended.  It got bright fast!

 The folks visited family and friends.  Then Wednesday came and Harvey caused our plans to change.  Dad had to make arrangements to get back to Houston.  They needed him to fight Harvey.  He left on Thursday morning.  Mom and I had to stay behind.

Mom tried to keep me entertained.  She took me to the park and to Petsmart.

 She said I needed some beachwear for our rental condo.  She made me new collars.

She says this is my "country collar".

Dad told her she stepped on a snake on the night before he left.

She didn't step on this one.

I took several naps.

Here we are waiting for takeout.

I whined a lot waiting for the food.

I had to go to the E-vet and then to my old vet due to more butt issues.  I screamed this time.  I really let Dad know that bad things seem to happen to me when he is gone.

Waiting for the vet.

Due to the holiday, the campground was sold out.  That meant we didn't have a site after Thursday of last week.  Mom was really stressed over that.  They told us we could stay, but we may not have full hook ups.  Mom has never driven the RV, so she was nervous about it.  She asked our neighbor if he would drive it and he said he would.  The site they planned on giving us was too small.  On the day we had to move, they came up with a site that was reserved but the person was out of town since he is an insurance adjuster.  We ended up having full hook ups.  I was really nervous when I realized we were moving without Dad around.  I thought Mom might try to drive the RV.  Scary!!!!   The neighbor did a great job moving us and it all turned out.  I guess all of Mom's worrying worked again.

Relaxing after our move and another vet visit.

Mom ate a lot of food while on vacation.  She was happy that she still ended up losing three pounds. She is halfway to her goal weight now!

She was bad and ate at White Castle.

 Dad flew back to us on Friday.  We left on Saturday to head back home.  We had a little bit of trouble finding a campground for Saturday.  The campground we stayed at had buffalo.  They sell the buffalo meat.

I guess they have had a theft problem with their picnic tables.

Sunday, we finally were back in Texas.  We finally arrived in our campground around 4 pm.  It took two long days of driving.

Our park never went under water.  It is one of the few places that did not.  A campground near us that we strongly considered moving to did flood.  The dock here did go under, but that is all.

Traveling really wears me out.  I spent yesterday recovering.

Yesterday, Mom went shopping.  The stores near us are up and running.  There are some gas stations that are closed, but the folks were able to fill up both cars and they did not have to wait in lines.  They will not need gas for a few weeks, so it will probably be totally back to normal by then.

The folks went out to eat last night.  As you can see, the flooding has receded from this area.  There are other areas that are still flooded. Some roads are still flooded.  The apartment that Mom really wanted to rent flooded.  It looks like we will not be renting an apartment if we don't like Galvestion after all.

Our campground is booked up and it will be for a very long time.  There are contractors, insurance adjusters, displaced people and those of us who have been living here.  It is hard to find a place to stay due to all the people who lost their homes.  We are thankful that we continued to pay our rent even while on vacation.  We would be struggling to find a place if we had not.  I really don't know what we would do, but thankfully, we don't have to worry about it.

Our last vacation in our motor home will be one that we will not forget anytime soon.  BOL!
