On our way to Texas 9-2011

After leaving Wisconsin, we stopped for a few days in Iowa to visit with Kirk's mom. While there we celebrated Al's birthday (Kirk's sister's fiance). We were also able to visit with Kirk's daughter, Heather and her grandson, Damon. We were also able to help mom rearrange some things in her home. It's always nice to visit with them all!

After leaving Gladbrook, we drove to Des Moines, Iowa and spent the day and evening with Nate and Lindsey (Kirk's son). They had moved to Iowa from TX just this past year. We had a fun time together. The next day we drove to Shenendoah, IA to visit with Nate's daughters (our granddaughters) and their family. We ate at Mexico, and spent a fun evening with them.

The next day we drove as far as Windstar Casino in OK which is on the TX/OK border. They have an RV park where we have stayed before. It's a great place to stay. While there, we ate at the Toby Keith restaurant in the casino. We then drove to Grapevine, TX near Rudy and Bev and spent some time with them and their grandson, Henry. We were also able to visit with Henry's mom and dad, Courtney and Dustin. Courtney was 9 months pregnant at the time and had their new son the next week.

I found out on our drive from Rudy and Bev's that my next work assignment would be in New Braunfels, TX. Kirk and I were really excited as we had stayed there before, and this was very close to where we used to live. We were excited that we would be able to visit many of our friends, and also get many of our doctor/dental appointments taken care of. After arriving in New Braunfels we stayed at the River Ranch RV Resort under the bridge on I-35 for a few weeks, then spent the rest of our stay at Camp Huaco on the Guadalupe River on River Road. This was a much more quiet and pleasant spot.
