Car of the day: Our first MOTORHOME! ;-)
So for today:
We’re
asked many times what places were the best to visit? It is hard to top driving
the Top of the World Highway, ref. the Yukon and Alaska. One thing about that
drive, it is a once in a lifetime occurrence. We will NEVER forget: Dawson
Creek, panning for gold, Chicken, Tok, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward and other
places up that way. Even landing a King Salmon on the Kenai River.
Some places in the USA have more ‘Points’ of interest than others, San Antonio
is one. I cannot count the times we have ‘wandered’ thru there. Once we stayed
at an RV park in a pecan grove, it was harvest time and we had all the pecans
we could eat and pick up.
Above sons Jack and Mark on Riverwalk below the boys and Sherry.
Oh yes! The Riverwalk. A great exercise in slow walking, people watching and shopping in the various unique shops/stores.
Some people get romantic and kiss on the Riverwalk:
Your first time there you MUST take
a tour boat.
The FAMOUS Alamo is walking distance.
The Little Red Barn Steak house is a great (HUGE) place for a dinner. (Paula told me of another Steak house
and I cannot remember it!)
Waitress carrying her 45 and the menu of the Red Barn.
Ahhh, here I am reminded of Paula (Late of Bloggersville); we enjoyed tales
about her late hubby Mel. She was known
for her tales of driving the back roads in that area, and for solving mysteries
of strange signs and gates she ran across.
We
were fortunate to take her and John out to dinner there and she was just as
sweet in person. Note here I thought was hilarious: John and Pauline shared the
same ranch then the same house. She let me know once that they were not
married, BUT THERE IS NO HANKY PANKY going on here. LOL That girl was special
and allowed me permission to use some of her ‘silly’ poetry (Her words) in one
of my books, The book ‘Toby’s Tales’ was adapted because of a turtle she talked
to in her back yard.
You might like the Missions’ Tour, we did (A tour of all the historical Spanish
Missions in the area, the Alamo being one). There is a Zoo, and a couple famous
museums.
Interested in fun parks, “Six Flags Fiesta and A Sea World” Park.
We miss those ‘extended rides.’ L

What adventures you have experienced! Your friends sounded so wonderful. Any Waitress carrying a 45 deserves lots of respect, even if it is not loaded. What a great time.
So many memories and so many wonderful places in our great country to visit and enjoy! I know there are not enough years in our life to do it all but I agree with you about Alaska and I'm so glad we were able to make that trip! We're heading to Salem, Ma in a month and then up to Maine since I've never been there. I'll try to be as adventurous as you and Sherry!
That VW bus was just what Troy's father and I planned to buy -- before Life happened.
Now you've got me wanting to visit San Antonio someday! We sorely miss having 'real' Mexican food. The one and only time we were there (Chamber of Commerce bus trip) it was freezing cold -- no strolling alongside the river, plus our pretty hotel had no hot water.
PS - I LIKE JJ's hat!
