Fun in Boerne Texas

Main Street Boerne

 cool car show downtown. Hundreds of classics and customs all on a fantastic day. 

We rode the Harley over and took a picnic lunch... Sandwiches made from last night's left over grilled chicken. Yum !

River Road Park in Boerne

We browsed through some antique and trinket stores, and believe it or not, we didn't buy a thing. 

The ride home was incredible, with world famous Texas Hill Country twisties and vistas.  

Fantastic day so far.  Tonight we are doing a campfire with foil packs ( veggies and sausages) cooked over the fire.  Tonight will be down in the upper 50s to low 60s so will make a perfect evening for a fire and a bottle of wine. 

Hope you each had a similarly incredible day!

 

Back at our Medina Lake Campsite

Starting to sink in?

It's Thursday and we are still at Medina Lake Thousand Trails outside of San Antonio Texas. What makes that special is that it's Thursday and when I woke up I had to check my calendar to see what day of the week it is. We spend our whole life living with a central focus of our job. The Todo list and recurring schedule of the job keeps minor  details such as what day it is fresh in our minds. But as all of our retired friends already know, now every day is equal. No more waiting for the weekend to take a breather. All we see now is that the world seems busier on the weekends when all the working folks are trying to squeeze in all the stuff they could not do during the week. Shopping at 2pm on a Tuesday is a whole new experience.

Anyway, we will me here until May 1st and then move on to Cedar Brakes Army Corps park in Georgetown Texas. This is a park we have camped at for as long as we have been in Texas. It is one of our favorites and has many wonderful memories for us. While there I get a chance to reconnect with my youngest son Jon who is married and has my newest granddaughter who I will meet for the first time. I can hardly wait.

So if I haven't  bored you already, stay tuned for the true beginning of our adventure as we begin our trek West. And if you happen to be on the road,  or along our
path, perhaps we will see you somewhere in one of our... Next Hundred Miles.

Finally left our Victoria Palms home

Seems like it was a long time coming, then suddenly it was here. I am not sure I was fully prepared for the emotional impact and Cindy cried half the way to San Antonio. Funny how the emotional psyche works, often differently than you expect.

Anyway, the journey now officially begins, and we are looking forward to "The Next Hundred Miles".
