Doing Almost Nothing

We spent today at the campground. Ate "all you can eat" pancakes with the ladies this morning which was very good. Planning to grill burgers tonight.

I worked on our income taxes and Charley watched the race. And we got a little bit of laundry done.

And that is all that there is......

Not sure about tomorrow. Rain is supposed to be on the way. We may have to wait until Tuesday to venture out again. But, then, that is all right too.

Another R&R Day

Today was just another day spent at the campground relaxing. We had breakfast tacos this morning at the campground and they were pretty good. Better than cooking our own for sure!!

Rest of the day was just relaxing, straightening up a little and cooking dinner after a nap in the afternoon. And we had Charley's favorite for dinner tonight, fried chicken!!

Cheyenne did have to say goodbye this morning to Tigger, a friend she made this week from Kansas.

This was about it for today......

Fredericksburg, LBJ Ranch, and Luckenbach

Another road trip today to Fredericksburg, the LBJ Ranch, and Luckenbach. Well worth the trip!!

In Fredericksburg we visited the Pacific War Museum and it was awesome. They have done a magnificent job of putting this together and showing all that happened. Huge number of items on display from that period in our history. Also ate lunch at an authentic German restaurant and it was so good. Been a long time since we have had German food. Main Street was a lot of shops and restaurants but the architecture was beautiful. This is definitely a place that we may visit again.

The LBJ Ranch was nice too. The ranch that this former president grew up on has been well preserved but yet it is still a working ranch. Again, well worth the visit.

Luckenbach now is another story. This little town, and I do mean little, really consisted of only one store and the post office.

It was a long day but again well worth it. We will probably take tomorrow off and rest. It is supposed to rain anyway and sightseeing in the rain is no fun!!

Below are some pictures of all three places from today.

A Work Day

We stayed at the campground today and did a few chores. Cleaned up inside the 5er, did laundry and Charley started washing the outside. Got about a third of it done today. Planning to do the rest later.

Cheyenne had an interesting day. Charley took her for a walk this morning down by the small lake that is in the campground and she jumped in!! Jumped right back out though, was a little chilly.... Guess we know now that she is not afraid of the water but we should have known that already, she loves mud puddles!!

And she absolutely loves to be outside. You cannot go to the door without her.....

Planning to go to Fredericksburg tomorrow.

A Road Trip Today

Well, we went to Boerne, Guadalupe River State Park and Bandera today. Guadalupe State Park is very nice and very secluded. We got some good pictures of the river. Boerne and Bandera were sort of a disappointment. Charley had read about these on some of the blogs from other RV'ers and all indications were that we should go. Maybe it just wasn't the right time of year to visit. Our impression was that they were just little tourist towns with lots of shops, especially Bandera.

We may be taking the day off tomorrow but plan to visit Fredericksburg and Luckenbach next. Fredericksburg's website makes it look like a very interesting place. And we still have to decide when we are going for our evening boat ride at Riverwalk.

We were both very tired when we got back so not planning anything big for dinner tonight, just some leftovers.

Below are some pictures that you may enjoy. None worth taking in Boerne.

Charley in his new black cowboy hat!!

Hat and Shoe Shopping!

We did not make it to the little towns today. Decided to wait because it was really cold and windy this morning.

And, I was wrong!! We did not wait until we got to the little towns for the cowboy hat. We went to Herb's Hat Shop and he got two!! One for winter and one for summer wear. He has to stay in fashion you know..... The summer one is straw but my favorite is the black felt one he got. Needless to say he is happy!! Now all we have to do is figure out how and where we are going to store them so they will not get smushed!!

We also bought new sneakers for both of us. The ones we had were about to fall apart!!

Then just a quick grocery run and hanging around the campsite.

Planning to do steaks and potatoes and salad tonight. Yum again!!

Going to some of the little towns tomorrow. Anxious to see whether or not those that are proclaimed to be real western towns really are or not. Also looking forward to Fredericksburg, it is supposed to be a neat place (German town). If we get good pictures we will share a couple.

The Alamo and Buckhorn Saloon

We went to downtown San Antonio today and visited the Alamo and the Buckhorn Saloon. The day turned out to be pretty nice with the biggest issue being the strong winds. Nevertheless it was awesome to visit the Alamo again. We took lots of pictures and attached are a couple of the Alamo and one of the Buckhorn.

We also stopped at a couple of places and looked at cowboy hats for Charley. We are not going to buy until we see what the small towns we plan to visit have to offer.

Cheyenne went with us and stayed in the truck while we were sightseeing. She was an angel and did not bother anything!! We hated to leave her cooped up in the fifth wheel for half the day. If she continues to be good we will do this all of the time until it gets too hot.

We are planning to go to visit a couple of the small western towns tomorrow to see what they are all about. We are really hoping that they are real old time western towns. Not sure but maybe we will go to Fredericksburg too. It is an old German town near San Antonio.

We plan to wait until later this week to take our boat ride on the Riverwalk. The weather is supposed to warm up. We are planning to do this at night so a little warmer would be nice.

Fixed a quick dinner of BBQ pork chops, rice and salad tonight. That hit the spot!!

Maybe we will report that we found Charley's cowboy hat tomorrow. Who knows??
