We lucked out upon arrival at our next stop, Key West. Well, where we camped was actually Stock Island. Brent and Jill booked a hotel 10-15 minutes away in actual Key West. Boyd’s Campground didn’t have any waterfront sites when we called for reservations, but lo and behold, one opened before we got there. Good thing, too. There are many sites…

Oh my goodness, this place is Caribbean beautiful. Heck, we’ve been to some places in the Caribbean that can’t measure up to Destin, Florida. We had no idea just how much we would like it here when we chose this as our stop for a few days. The sand is sugar white, dries to a soft powder, and brushes off…

This is our third trip to New Orleans in our RV. There’s so much more to this city than just the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. On prior trips we’ve explored the Garden District, WWII Museum, Civil War Museum, City Park, and on, and on. Since we’ve seen so much, we decided to stay at our campsite for a bit,…

Built in 1892, Bishop’s Palace, known as Gresham House when first built, is one of the most ornate Victorian late 1800’s high society mansions in Galveston, and a historic landmark. It’s easy to imagine life back in Galveston’s glorious heyday when inside this beautiful home. There are a number of historic homes on and around Broadway in Galveston known as “The Broadway…

Neither Steve nor I do well with heights. I may be just a tad better than Steve, but that’s not saying much. Bolstered with liquid courage from The Menger, we headed over to the Tower of the Americas. It’s a 750 foot tall landmark in San Antonio offering unparalleled 360º views of the city. The elevator ride up is short, and of course…

Famous for being where Theodore Roosevelt gathered his Rough Riders, The Menger Hotel is another bit of San Antonio history to behold. It’s right next door to the Alamo, and it’s been on my list for some time to stop in for one drink at the fabled Menger Bar. I told Steve if we made it there on this trip, I may just…

There’s a work of art that’s so unique, it became an instant classic when Donald Lipski installed it under a freeway overpass, over San Antonio’s Riverwalk back in 2009. F.I.S.H. draws crowds from all walks of life. We visited during the day, and from what I hear, it’s really spectacular at night when the fish are all lit. It’s already on my list for…

There’s something great going on in San Antonio. New developments, and redevelopment of old places. The Pearl is going to be one of the best examples I’ve ever seen of reinventing an industrial area. It’s still in development, and so far there’s fantastic shops, amazing eateries, a Culinary Institute of America campus, and an amazingly unique place, the Hotel Emma. It’s on what’s…

Since we’ve been to San Antonio Riverwalk a couple times before, we decided to enter from a different direction, and oh my goodness, how this place has grown. There’s still the familiar sights, but the expansion had us all turned around. We gave up trying to figure out where we entered on our previous trips, and just took it all in. First…

We stayed at Traveler’s World RV Park while in San Antonio. I wanted to find a nice, secure, well-appointed park to stay at that was close to downtown, and this place fit the bill quite nicely. The office staff were friendly, There were groundskeepers constantly grooming, and maintenance guys buzzing about. We’d recommend this place for sure. While we weren’t going…
