Oh my...as I look at my blog, I see I haven't posted since our last trip in January to Arizona...the year has flown by and I realized I've been lazy and a little sad....we lost a couple of very dear friends and travel partners this past year and looking over this blog brings back so many wonderful memories of those two big trips, one to the east coast and the other to the west coast...I'm back on track and looking forward to making many more trips and memories and making new friends along the way...we were by no means homebodies this past year...I thought about trying to go back and post all the trips with pics but quickly got overwhelmed, so here it is in a nutshell....
Janurary....we traveled by car to Arizona to visit our very ill friend and spent the month with her nursing her through some very tough times...drove out to Quartzite just because we were curious...
February/March....the end of the month we took off to Rockport for the annual Oysterfest...we fell into a group of Winter Texans and ended up staying the entire month of March...had a ball...made some wonderful friends and even made reservations for this March
May...back to Arizona for our friend's memorial...very sad trip
June....took off in the RV for Huntsville State Park in Huntsville, Tx...never again camping in Texas in the summer...the park was beautiful and would have loved it had it not been so hot and muggy...we did get to tour the George Bush (41) Presidental Library on the Texas A&M Campus...OMG...wonderful site...a definite destination if you have never been
July...I took a girls' trip to NYC...best trip ever...11 girls all related met in NY....had so much fun going to Broadway show, sightseeing, shopping and laughing .....a great time was had by all...
August...felt like we had to get out of the Texas heat, so we took off to Ruidoso, NM....started out for 10 days...again, we met a group of Texans and 1 lone Oklahomian and ended up staying for the month of August...made some very dear friends...meeting them in April of this year at Canyon Lake and again in Ruidoso in August...the weather can't be beat...dry and cool....
September...we again took off to Rockport for the Hummingbirdfest...hot and muggy and rained on us a couple of days...very few hummers this year
December...we spent a week in the Hill Country...Dripping Springs to be exact...traveled to visit friends in Marble Falls, saw the huge German Pyramid in Fredericksburg, visited old stomping grounds on the UT campus, attended the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar, had the best BBQ ever at the Salt Lick, shopped in Wimberly and drove out to my old school where I taught 2nd grade...still miss that place...
and that brings us back to 2013....I will keep up this year...looking forward to all the travels....Happy Trails...
