About Those Grandchildren (October 30 - November 6)

Dear Family and Friends,

Hello from Terrell, Texas! It took us three days to drive from Tucson to Terrell as West Texas is immense. After our last goodbyes to friends and family in Tucson, we drove to Van Horn, Texas on Interstate 10 in lots of wind. We drove through El Paso, which is always an adventure.  The second day, we left Van Horn, picking up Interstate 20,  and drove to Abilene. Upon arriving in Abilene, we were able to see the
B-1 bomber flying in the area. Dyess AFB is home to the B-1. The third day of travel found us at our destination, Terrell. In all we drove 1,000 miles leaving behind the sahuaros of the Sonoran Desert and finding lots of yuccas in New Mexico, that gave way to the flatter land of West Texas. Lots of windmills and oil well pumps  dotted the area around Midland/Odessa.

After setting up our site at Bluebonnet RV park, we drove to Dallas to see our son, Rob, his wife, Suzanne and our adorable grandchildren, Abby and Jackson. Below are pictures of our site and our Dallas family.

The view always changes when RVing. This is why we love our lifestyle.

Abby loves Bear!

It doesn't get better than this.

Jackson is a major super hero fan. Here is striking the pose of Spiderman.


A mixture of Spidey and the Hulk!

Thank you for letting this proud grandmother indulge herself with grandparent stories and pics. Roger and I will be in the Dallas area for 6 weeks, so be prepared for more of the same. We look forward to spending lots of time with our family. I grew up in Ft. Worth and have a mother and sibs, with their families, in the area.

Thank you for reading our blog. We appreciate your interest in our adventures.
