Tree lighting at Mayfaire

Mayfaire had their 7th annual tree lighting.  It was a little chilly at 35 degree's. We probably got there a little too early and by the time it started at 6:30 everyone was cold. There were singers, dancers and of course Santa but the sound system was terrible and you couldn't hear anything. 

Santa arrived in style on the local fire truck and flipped the switch on the tree lights.  By 7:15 we were on our way to find a warm place.

Memorable but probably not repeatable.

Wilmington for our 4th winter

We've been in Wilmington for a month. Settled in and relaxing... Kathy watches Noah on Monday,Wednesday and Friday and we occasionally watch him on the weekends.  Funny, she thought she would work Tuesday and Thursday. Now she works at relaxing after a energetic day with Noah!

Our spot in Wilmington

Long night trick or treating

And where are you crawling out of ?

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving at Nikki and Travis's. This year we will have a baked Turkey and deep fry some fresh oysters! 

Shreveport to Lake City and Lawtey FL then to Wilmington

After leaving Shreveport we spent the night outside of Mobile, AL and drove into Lake City, FL the next day. We stayed in Lake City from Sunday until Wednesday and then drove over to Lawtey where Jackie lives.

They have some nice acreage with a small lake and two RV hookups which makes it very convienent for visiting. Kathy and Jackie took Tim out shopping during the day and I met up with them for dinner at Tim's favorite place...the Golden Corral.

Friday we drove to Latta, SC and spent the night at the Flying J and drove the rest of the way into Wilmington on Oct 25th.

Shreveport, LA

We arrived in Shreveport, LA on Wednesday after a short 2 hour drive from Terrell, TX. We leave Saturday and drive to either Mobile, AL or Pensacola, FL. Sunday we drive to Lake City, FL and will be there until we drive over to Lawtey, FL on Wednesday. Weather since we left Terrell has been perfect and is supposed to stay that way for the next week.

Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park

Saturday, after spending an afternoon in Roswell we decided that was enough excitement. Not really much to do in Roswell after you've been to the museums. Sunday we drove from Roswell to Terrell, TX about 30 miles east of Dallas. Last night was filled with 60-70mph winds and a lot of rain. I was thankful we were at the campground and not on the road. One of our roof vent covers was ripped off in the rain. Kathy and I agree that next fall we'll buy our new RV on the way back from Colorado. We'll get it either from LaMesa or Lazydays RV. We know what we want so just a matter of finding the right model and floor plan.

This is a nice campground. Clean, very well maintained and nice staff. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. http://www.bluebonnetrv.com/

The long and not very scenic drive from Roswell, NM to Terrell, TX. Hours upon hours of the same driving view...

Wednesday we leave for Shreveport, LA. We'll be there until Saturday when we'll drive to Mobile, AL.
