Back to San Antonio Again

After a very fun and busy Christmas in Atlanta, we began heading west to San Antonio on Monday, December 28.  We knew we were going to be heading through the storm system that had brought deadly tornados to the Dallas area a few days before.  After monitoring the weather closely, we decided our best bet was just to head out as we planned on I-85 to I-65 to I-10.

I kept an eye on the weather radar while Chuck was driving and we hit our first rain just south of Montgomery.  Fortunately, we were crossing through the narrowest part of the storm.  We did hit some heavy rain...

...but by continuing to carefully drive through it...

...we were totally out of the rain and the storms by the time we reached Mobile.  We continued heading west on I-10 across Mississippi and into Louisiana.  The only major traffic we ran into was crossing the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge

We hoped to get as far as Frog City RV Park where we had met Ken and Bonnie last April in Duson, Louisiana.  The sun was bright and almost blinding as it set in the western sky but that's a whole lot better than driving through storms and rain.

We reached Frog City RV Park around 5:45 and actually got the same site we had last April.  Unfortunately, Ken and Bonnie weren't next to us this time.  :(

After a good night's rest, we headed for San Antonio a little after 7 am.  As we were traveling west on I-10, we noticed this unusual cloud formation.

It looked like a big hole in the clouds with a whirlwind forming below it to suck up what was traveling below.  Fortunately, it just looked that way and was NOT the beginnings of a tornado.

 and by 2:30 we were pulling into Traveler's World RV Park in San Antonio, our home for the next month.

Warren and Joslyn greeted us as soon as we were checking in and we soon saw Terry and Gloria and Tim and Nancy.  After visiting for a while, we all went to dinner at Mad Mack's and had some delicious hamburgers.  Chuck played golf in the Wednesday Scramble and Wednesday evening we rested and watched some bowl games.

On New Year's Eve, we watched more bowl games and then headed to the hall for another very fun New Year's Eve party that evening.

Happy New Year 2016!!

We have had a nice 2016 so far!  Chuck has played golf several times and we've gone to the driving range once where I hit a few balls too.  We've enjoyed playing cards some evenings and even played Texas Hold'em for the first time last Thursday at the park.  The weather has been better this year but it is supposed to be a little cooler this next week.  We have also enjoyed one of the pot-luck dinners and hope to enjoy a couple more of those.  I have tried yoga a couple of mornings and am quickly learning I'm not near as flexible as I used to be (not that I ever was).  I enjoy the yoga but I've got a lot to learn.  I've even learned how to do a little more crocheting.

Normally, we are on the move at least every couple of weeks so it's been kind of nice to stay put for a month.  And we have enjoyed getting to spend time with our friends here at Traveler's World.
