RV travels around the USA
Gotta see the moms! We wanted to work in a weeklong trip back to Indiana to see our moms before taking off on our spring/summer/fall plans. Finally decided to extend our stay here at Llano Grande Resort by a couple of weeks. This is a very safe and secure park to leave our rolling home for a week. So, we booked our flights and a rental car and were off to the Great Up North on Tuesday March 19th!
The winter season at our Llano Grande RV Resort (LINK) is starting to wind down into its summer phase. We are watching several rigs depart every day as they begin the journey back Up North. Most residents are still here in our section of the park, but everyone is busy making preparations to leave. Most will be leaving from mid-March to the first week of April.
Planning for RVer’s is a debatable topic. There are certainly two camps of full-time RVers. Those who plan and those who wing it. The planning that I’m writing about is a pre-plan of the RV route to all destinations and RV parks for the year or at least a few months in advance. It is a huge amount of work and can take several weeks to complete working a few hours a day.
South Padre Island (SPI) is a beautiful barrier island about an hour due east from our winter home in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) of Texas. We wanted to make a trip to this popular tourist destination before the spring break madness begins on March 9th. So, we caught some perfect 80 degree weather and took off for a day to explore.
We have visited many art galleries and museums in our travels this last year. And just before that we went to London and visited the National Gallery and the Tate. Major galleries known world wide. And, of course, our very own National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. All of this has given me a greater appreciation of art.
