We are in Houston, Texas

We arrived here on Wednesday after a two day stay in Beaumont, Texas.  We had only planned on staying one day, but felt an extra day was needed so we could do some house keeping chores that were needed after spending 9 days in New Orleans.  Hidden Lake RV Resort in Beaumont was really nice and the staff helpful and friendly.  The drive to Houston was fairly easy until we got into the heart of the city.  Traffic in Houston even at 2 o'clock in the afternoon was quite intense.  All I can say is thank God for GPS's.  We found the Elks Lodge in Stafford, TX with no problem.  They have a really nice set up for traveling Elks in RV's.  They have 10 spaces with full hook up of water, electric and sewer.  Like other lodges we have stopped in along the way the members are very receptive to meeting members from other parts of the country.

Last night we played Bingo and had similar luck as we did at the casino in New Orleans.  Oh well it is for a good cause as the Elks provide lots of support for veterans, and do lots of work with children with medical needs. 

At this point we are thinking of leaving for San Antonio on Sunday, but may stay on for a few more days since the accommodations are so nice here.  Tomorrow we are taking a ride down to Galveston to check out the beaches. 

We found a beautiful park in Sugar Land, TX that is close to the Elks Lodge.  They have a walking trail that runs 2-1/2 miles and we really enjoyed walking it as did Angel.  They also have a reflection pond that was quite serene.  

Until next time, miles of smiles.
