December was a busy month. While in AL, we spent time w/friends from home, Bill & Carole Nerone. Mid-December through Christmas was a wonderful time in Bloomington, IL w/Clay, Kim, Kenley and the newest little Brockman, Chase.
Sure glad the weather cooperated while we travelled back and forth. The latter part of December was back in AL but with a trip mid-week to Ft. Walton Beach for Christmas w/Valerie, Scott, Sophia and sweet Naomi.
It was fun watching Sophia "help" everyone open Christmas gifts.
On Dec. 29th, we left for an easy 4 hour drive to meet up w/our MI friends, Tim & Trish, at the Ponchatrain Landing RV Park in New Orleans (aka Nawlins). However, it stretched out to about 8 hours due to a 40 car wreck that closed I-10 about 5 miles from our destination. We enjoyed walking around the Bourbon Street area and had some good jambalaya and catfish while Tom had a combo plate w/various creole things.
After a long 9-hour drive day, we all spent New Year's Eve at a cg in Victoria, TX and made it just in time for their potluck party. After filling our bellies and playing some Euchre, we left the clubhouse around 10 p.m. Since Tom and I have never slept through the midnight hour, we forced ourselves to watch TV. At the stroke of midnight, we kissed each other to ring in the New Year and were in bed by 12:10!
After a mix-up on Tim's campsite at the 1st cg here in Alamo, TX that we all made reservations for last March, we moved to the Alamo Rose RV Resort and are having a great time. Lots of very friendly people and plenty of stuff to keep us as busy or as laid-back as we want. It's great getting to spend the winter w/Tim & Trish. Always fun but I can't wait for us gals to get our mojo back on pegs & jokers and Euchre.
Made our first trip to Nuevo Progreso, MX on TU.
After doing some shopping we all had some good margaritas while listening to a band and watching a few people dance. We determined they have their happy hours at 1:00 to cater to us seniors, which is contrary to the happy hours in the states who cater to the "after work" crowd. But, we did enjoy our 2 for 1 drinks! Afterwards, we had some good authentic Mexican food before we paid our quarter to get back into the good ol' USA.
