Last year we took the Pequod, our RV, on an epic (for us) trip along the Gulf Coast from Houston to the Everglades. We were gone for a month and had a blast. On our way back they closed the Louisiana border behind us. So began the pandemic. We took that trip at just the right time, and thank God we got back with all those great memories. I was looking at Mardi Gras too on the way back, which turned out to be a super-spreader event. But we missed that as well. Whew.
Last week we took it out for a week at Lake Corpus Christi State Park. Saw some cool stuff: Padre Island National Seashore, Goliad, Corpus Christi, and discovering the state park itself. We were having such a good time that we seriously wanted to extend the trip to another site. But we decided against it, and returned a week ago, Saturday. On Sunday, historic statewide winter storm began. If we had been out there another day, we'd have been screwed.
That makes Whew Times Two.
