Wandering to meet a relative

I have a cousin who lives in southern Florida and I have only seen him once in the past fifty years, and that was only to meet him for lunch about 5 years ago when he was passing through Houston. Well, this year he has a travel trailer and is heading to Arizona to visit some of his kids, and emailed me telling me he would be passing through and wanted to know if I knew of an RV park along I-10 somewhere near Houston. He said that he could reserve two sites side by side and we could have a better visit. I thought that was a great idea and started searching the internet. I preferred the east side of Houston for a couple of reasons. First, it is easier for me to get to the east side via country roads and second, the west side is too built up.


I couldn’t find what I thought would suit in the Woodalls campground directory, so started to search the internet for RV parks around Houston. Somehow I found one that is or had been for sale. There was not a lot of information about it nor did it have a web-site, just a telephone number. It was in a perfect position, just west of Baytown on the backwaters of the bay and only a quarter mile off the interstate. He agreed and plans were made for arrival this last Tuesday afternoon.

I got there early and got settled in one of the two sports. He showed late in the afternoon. We had a great visit and I thoroughly enjoyed myself as did my better half and, I hope, my cousin and his wife. Sure hated to see them head out yesterday morning. They left before 08:00 even though I warned them of Houston’s rush hour traffic.

OK, here are some pics. Here is one of them in my RV:

And here is one of my cousin and me.  He is the good looking one wearing the Marine Corp cap.

And with his wife:

After they left, I walked down to the water’s edge and took some pictures.  This first one is looking south back towards I-10.  The bridge in the picture is the interstate:

Here, in part of the last picture that I clipped out, is a closer look at the bridge:

This picture is looking north.  Nice area to sit or have a picnic:

This one is looking directly across the water:

And this is a clip of the middle of the above picture:

For just an over night trip, we had a great time. Of course it takes just about the same amount of time to load the RV for a day or two trip than for a month. Now you know where I was yesterday.


You all have a nice day today, you hear?
