Luckenbach, TX

Went to Luckenbach, Tx today. Not too much to see but what there is, is kind of neat. Photos tell the story. Then back to Fredericksburg for a walk along main street. Stopped at two wine tasting places and came back with 5 bottles of wine. Before Luckenbach, we had breakfast in town [as well as lunch yesterday[ and these German Texans don't know what small portions are. Great beers and wines and you can wander up and down the street with a cool beer to go. This is my kind of place. Off to San Antonio tomorrow.

National Museum of the Pacific War

One of the best military museums I've been to. Plan on a whole day to see everything. Awesome exhibits and knowledgeable guides. Located in Fredricksburg, TX - hometown of Admiral Nimitz. Well worth the visit. Plenty else to do in the area.

LBJ Ranch

Today, we drove to Johnson City, TX and visited the LBJ museum, state park and ranch. Very interesting. Beautiful hill country of TX. Took a drive through tour of the ranch. See why they called it the TX white house since LBJ spent 25% of his time as president here. Now in Fredricksburg, TX for 2 nights. Plenty to see and do here tomorrow. Took a picture of a TX 5 star restaurant where they serve TX oyster in the half shell - armadillo. Only in TX.

Day Four

Day four of our trip. Hopefully, it will be better than the first three. Had to get some work done on the motor home on day two, then yesterday the alternator in the jeep went out and had to get it replaced. Two days in service shops - bummer. Passed by Ft. Hood in Killean, Tx yesterday. Huge fort. Today, it's off to Johnson City, Tx to visit the state park there. Then to Fredricksburg, Tx for two nights. Going to visit the Nimitz Museum of WW II War in the Pacific and the LBJ ranch. Weather is back to normal - hot and humid but at least no rain. Had an excellent italian dinner last night at a local restaurant. As Bugs Bunny used to say, that's all folks!!!

After the Storm

Day two of our month long trip and we ran into severe weather in the Dallas area. Tornadoes all around us and very heavy rain. Thankfully, we ducked the bullet but had to be ready to go to a shelter. I believe the bad weather is behind us now and it should be clear sailing for awhile. Weather was due to tropical storm Hermene. Heading for Lampasas, TX today.

First Trip

Took our first trip yesterday, 7/22/10, to Joplin for repair work. There seems to be very little quality control at the factory or dealership. Have to go back today to see why the TV will not pick up a cable signal. Antenna works fine. Hopefully, it is something simple. Then home. Very hot and humid. Spent the night at KOA.

More Coach Pictures

Finally, got the new coach loaded after two days of "moving." It's amazing how much stuff you can load into a motorhome. Going to take it to a local lake park this Sunday for 2 nights to check everything out.
