The road to Highland, Tx

Before going over to Dan and Cheryl's for breakfast, Max opened his presents.  He loved them all and had a great time opening them!  Breakfast was delicious and then we watched the kids open their presents.  They were all happy with their gifts!  Then everyone else opened gifts.  They had a really soft luscious (marshmallow)  throw for me and a teapot with cups and some green tea for Ted.  They surprised us with these very nice gifts.

We came home to relax and spend some time with Max before going back for dinner.  They had cooked prime rib and a turkey, and of course all of the trimmings.  We had a delicious dinner.  The ladies, including Olivia and Haley played Phase 10 for awhile until we all decided it was time to go home and rest.  It was a great day!

Monday morning we left Boerne and went east on I-10.  We were going to spend the night in Columbus, Tx on the Colorado River.  This is one of our membership campgrounds that we had not been to and was about half way to our destination for the rally in Highland, Tx.  We had a spot right on the river.  It is really a nice quiet campground and we will enjoy spending three nights there on the way back.  There were lots of deer around and great places to walk the dog!

On Tuesday we had a two hour drive to Highland.  There are about 25 RV's attending the rally.   We are camping on the San Jacinto River.  It's a nice campground with a great view of the river!

We had dinner with a group at Iguana Joes last night.  Had a good meal and talked to several people we had not seen for awhile.  It was a fun evening!

This afternoon we went to the Port of Houston and took a free ride on a boat tour of a harbor tour!  They saved 16 spaces for us.  We were not allowed to take any pictures at the direction of  Homeland Security.  But we did take some in the parking lot before boarding the boat.  They served coffee or a soda and took us about 7 miles each way.  It was an interesting tour.

Going new places and seeing new things..."Ain't Life Grand!"
