Thanksgiving weekend at Steve and Sudi's

We are finishing up an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend today. We have been sleeping in their spare room, Dan in their study. Our motorhome is at a local RV park. It's nice having a big bathroom to shower in and a better bed to sleep in. Steve has been driving us all over the Benbrook area which is near Fort Worth seeing the sites. It is really like country, no malls just a few stores here and there. For lunch we went to Fuddruckers for veggie burgers. He took us through a few new housing developments. All the houses around here are mostly all brick, no stucco here. You can get a "mansion" here for 3 to 400,000 dollars or a nice 3 bedroom for under $200,000. He took us to a little quaint historic town kinda like Julian called Granbury. We walked around the stores and bought a few trinkets. Today, Sunday, Steve and Sudi are taking us to their church service. Last night Dan and I went to St. Bartholomews Catholic Church in Fort Worth a nice church that is all brick inside and out. It had a very nice choir. Today Sudi is going to fix us a Chinese lunch. Then we will, sadly, leave Monday morning for home.

Steve and Sudi's House

We arrived in the Fort Worth area late Tuesday to visit Steve and Sudi. Since we were 1 day early we went to see some of the sites of Fort Worth and went to the Fort Worth Zoo which is a pretty nice zoo for its size. Then we drove to Steve and Sudi's house and were given the grand tour. A very nice brick house in Benbrook. We are spending 4 days with them for Thanksgiving. Sudi and Steve are cooking a sumptious Thanksgiving meal, Mexican style and vegan! Last night we all went out to a nice Pizza Hut restaurant for dinner.

Carlsbad Caverans

This weekend we spent the time in the Carlsbad Caverns area. On the way here Dan got his chance to experience motor home driving. He did good. When we got to the city of Carlsbad we found our RV park and we set up camp and Dan set up our internet and his equipment. Are running 3 laptops. Dan set up his stop motion camera so we can see what our neighbors are doing while we are out touring. Sunday we toured the caverns. The immenseness of the caverns is mind blowing. We descended over 800 feet below the surface. We went on two self guided tours and one guided tour. This is one thing to see before you die for sure. It is better than any other cavern we've before. The formations are beautiful.
Today, Monday we are leaving and have to plan what sites to see through Texas. We know there are a lot of oil wells and flat land to see. We have about 8 more hours of driving to get to Benbrook, Texas to visit Steve and Sudi. We heard there is a chance of rain and SNOW by Thanksgiving!

Texas Bound

Yesterday we left on our Texas trek with Dan in our motor home t visit Steve and Sudi for Thanksgiving in Benbrook, Texas. We spent the night in Yuma in an RV park after Wal Mark kicked us out because of a city ordinance. Seems this is the RV park capitol of the United States. There are rv parks all over the city here for some reason. We are stopping at Carlsbad Caverns on the way. We should be there in 2 days.

Veterans Day

Today was a beautiful Veterans Day. The weather was perfect, not too hot, slightly cloudy. The day ended with a beautiful sunset. It's great to be an American in the USA!
