Texas

Here we are in Texas, Conroe to be exact. Lake Conroe is about 40 miles north of Houston on I45.

First, lets back up to the last post. Shamu started fine the morning after and we proceeded onward. Wednesday we spent the night at a beautiful Louisiana state park called Fountainebleu located on Lake Pontchartrain.

You could see the New Orleans skyline across the lake. Louisiana has the nicest state parks of any of the states. This was the fourth one we've visited in the past few years and they've all been top notch. Thursday we proceeded on to Lake Charles, LA where we stayed at Sam Houston Jones State Park, another beautiful one. Friday we drove on to Conroe TX. We're staying at Lake Conroe Thousand Trails. It's real nice here. Daughter Lara and here family live about 50 miles from here so we're close enough to see them on the weekends and far enough away not to be a nuisance during the week. Lara and Jeff both work and the kids are in school so their life is pretty busy during the week.

We had a nice visit today and got to see the grand kids for the first time in about six months.
This all new to us. All the family has always been fairly close by till now. The grand kids have both grown a lot and Matt who's 14 now has a deep voice where is squeaked and cracked a mere six months ago.
