We arrived in Brownsville tx on dec 7. uneventful trip. such a wonderful thing! it can happen, no issues no breakdowns. awesome!!! we stopped in Bay St Louis at silver springs casino for 2 nights. lost money but had fun. then stopped for one night in Winnie tx $30 a night, then onto Circle W campground in Rockport tx for 3 nights. They are passport America so it was $24 a night. Nice campground and area in general. would go back.
Now settled in Brownsville till april. nice enough campground, everyone is friendly, but most have been coming here for yrs and yrs so I feel a bit like a fish out of water. we will seen how the season progresses. the weather has been great so far. We wandered over to Progresso Mexico one day. Fun. Trying to get involved in activities here at the campground. Tonight we are invited over to the neighbors for a gathering so may meet some new folks. Todd and Beth arrived the day before we did and so glad they are here. Missing the daylights out of John and Laurie tho. We also wandered over to SPI for the day to watch the Packers play last sunday. we do love the island.
beth gave me some diamond dot oranaments to work on. fun
