HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL FROM DALLAS TX!!!!!

 

11/18 – 11/21/2014 – Kingsland TX, Lake LBJ, and Fredericksburg – We were the first and only campers at a brand new campground on the North Point Landing at Lighthouse golf course just off Lake LBJ.  Nothing like a view of a golf course not to mention the beautiful Packsaddle Mountains every day.  We really enjoyed touring the Hill Country of Texas, especially the LBJ ranch which is now a national park and the town of Fredericksburg which is west of Austin.  Fredericksburg is not just a beautiful historic town of the Hill Country but also home to some 40 plus wineries in the area and very unique shopping.  We spent many hours at LBJ ranch which is really a must visit destination full of memorabilia from his presidency including an Air Force One jet used to shuttle back and forth from Washington as he spent ¼ of his presidency at the ranch.  We will surely stay in Fredericksburg the next time we are in the area as there is so much more we would like to see in town and the surrounding area.

11/11 – 11/17/2014 – San Antonio TX, Braunig Lake RV Resort – What do you know, we have arrived in San Antonio at the same time as the Arctic front.  We have temps 20 degrees below the norm with high winds, can you say BRRRRRR, low 50’s in the daytime and overnight we are in the high thirties.  We need to dig out our woolies.   Decided to take a tour of San Antonio, a wise decision, had an amazing day facilitated by our great guide Curry who was a walking encyclopedia.  The “Grand Tour” included the Alamo, Mission Trail missions, Market Square, Buckhorn Saloon and Museum, Texas Ranger Museum, Japanese Sunken Gardens and a Riverboat ride through the Riverwalk.  Spent several days in San Antonio just wandering around enjoying the Riverwalk, eating Mexican, good bakery treats and taking in the history.  Took one day to ride to New Braunfels but was rainy and cold when we got there so we just drove around town and took in the historic homes and buildings.  Other than the rain and cold San Antonio was AWESOME, a close second to New Orleans.
