High-lites and Low-lites

After about a week of temperatures in the single digits I would have to say that, weather-wise anyways, this past week was lousy. Add to that, the past 3 days of constant rain and we're ready to come home where its drier (and probably warmer). 

We drove the Unit to the storage place yesterday during a very brief dry spell. It took just about the whole day to pack up everything and winterize the water system, holding tanks, etc. Here's the Unit in her winter home. Pretty cozy, huh?

We left Austin this morning and drove 9 hours in driving rain.
Tonight we are in Little Rock, AR. , a distance of 828 kms. Just had dinner in a pizza/craft beer restaurant. Great beer, awesome pizza.

Now for the high-lites of our trip.
For places we stayed, St. George Is. State Park In Florida was by far the  best. Ironically it was also the least expensive. We found we much preferred State Parks to private RV Parks. We avoided any park that had the words "luxury" or "resort" in the name.
Best food had tho be the Apalachicola Seafood Festival. We won't soon forget it and we'll be back.
Best Deal goes to the free ferry to Galveston. A close second would have to be Canadian Club Whiskey. I may have been a little over zealous in my quest to load up on the low priced libation and I now have a fair quantity to dispose of before we cross the border. Not to worry, I'm working on that as we speak.
Most fun, in spite of the weather, was the past week which we spent with Carla, Billy and the kids in Austin. Never a dull moment with Carla planning the activities.
Best Bar was Paddy's (the raw oyster place) and for entertainment, the jazz bar in New Orleans.

We wanted to determine on this trip, what the actual costs would be so I kept track of every dollar we spent. We also wanted to find out if we would drive each other nuts, being in such close proximity to each other for weeks on end. As for the latter, we're both already planning the spring trip so no problems there.

Next post, I'll get into some of the costs and other findings, some of which I found quite surprising.
