Whisper And Tory Sound Asleep Next To Each Other As We’re Driving Down The Road
So David mentioned to me that it’s been a while since I blogged. I looked, and low and behold, he was right. My my how time flies.
So what have we been up to? We left our family in Florida and made our way to our current location of Tucson, Arizona.
We caught up to our friends Curtis and Gladys from Louisiana. They are making their way to Pasadena, CA for the Rose parade in January.
Before we met up with Curtis and Gladys though, we had a couple of over night stops. One night we stopped at a Walmart parking lot in the panhandle of Florida. When we awoke the next morning we saw a Blue Bell Ice Cream truck.
David Talking To The Blue Bell Ice Cream Truck Guy.
If you do not have Blue Bell ice cream where you live, I am truly sorry. Some friends of ours, Jay and Joanne got us hooked on Blue Bell. Thanks guys! Now that we are totally addicted to this ice cream we are doomed. One good thing is that Blue Bell is not sold in New York…yet. I say yet because the Blue Bell ice cream truck guy that David was talking to said they are expanding. He also mentioned that he was originally from Batavia, NY! How funny is that. That’s not too far from Rochester, where we are from. What are the odds of running into a fellow Western NYer in a Walmart parking lot in Florida. Too funny.
My First Attempt At Making Honey Wheat Bread.
I also made my first attempt at making bread. Not just any old bread though. I’ve made my fair share of banana bread thanks to my Grandma Blackburn’s family recipe. However regular sandwich bread is a new beast all together. This was my first baking experience with yeast. I think my attempt at this honey wheat bread turned out well. If I do say so myself. Oh wait…I just did :)
Driving Into Houston, Texas
Driving west you see a variety of things. Here we are driving through the city of Houston, Texas. Making our way to the San Antonio area to meet up with Curtis and Gladys.
Driving Through Texas Hill Country
When we left the San Antonio area with Curtis and Gladys we drove through the Texas Hill Country. Beautiful vista views with rolling hills.
A Stop Over In An RV Park In Fort Stockton, TX
We made a stop over in Fort Stockton, Texas at a really nice RV park called Hilltop RV Park. Do yourself a favor, if you find yourself driving on I-10 and you are in the Fort Stockton, TX area, stop here for the night. Reasonable rates ($25/night) with beautiful views and sunsets, it’s really a nice stop.

If we find ourselves through here again, we may stay for a few nights.
Our Coach At The Hilltop RV Park
After our over night at Fort Stockton we made our way through El Paso, TX with another nightly stop in Las Cruces, NM.
Driving West Through New Mexico To Arizona The Roads Seem To Go On Forever. Beautiful Mountain Views. You Can Truly See For Miles And Miles.
Driving west through New Mexico the roads go on and on forever. Beautiful mountain views in every direction. No matter how many times we come through here, it still amazes us.
Giant Boulders That Make Up The Mountains In The West
When you get closer to the mountains you can see they are made up of these giant boulders. It looks like someone just placed them there. Simply amazing. I know I’ve said that before, but it really is.
So we are here now in Tucson, Arizona through Christmas. We’re staying at the Lazydays RV Campground. Which by the way, is another really nice rv park with a really good restaurant on site.
Our Site At The Lazydays RV Campground In Tucson, AZ
Nice large sites. Views of the mountains in every direction.

Restaurants and shopping not to far away. Close to I-10 but far enough away that you don’t hear it. We’d come back here if we were in the area.
So we’re staying put here in Tucson until Monday. Then we’ll say good-bye to our friends and head towards Vegas.
Don’t forget you can check out our live web cam at the top of the page to see the wonderful mountain views.
Hellow there, Thanks for a look at your travles, very interesting, Iwill never be there so it was good to share your sights. Iam in Australia, Cheers Alan.
