Merry Christmas!

We had a nice Christmas morning in our RV with our little tree. We didn't have a lot of presents, so opening them took less than 15 minutes. We then packed it up and headed to Univeral Islands of Adventure. We were here on Thursdaya and it was really crowded, slightly less so today. We had a feast in The Three Broomsticks for our Christmas dinner. It was yummy food, cool atmosphere and no work! The Butterbeer was good too. They did a neat job with the new Hogsmeade section of the park. I've taken pictures, but my laptop battery is completely dead and won't take a charge, so I can't post them yet. We are taking a dinner break in the RV and will head back into the park for a while. It was sunny and 72 here today, but is supposed to drop to 52 tomorrow.

RV we go!

We left on Sunday for our 2 week road trip to Florida. We did go to church that morning and then left soon after. We had some snow near Price, but we were out of it before I-70 and have had good weather since. We made it as far as Farmington, NM the first night. The next morning David got up at 5:30 and started driving. I took over around 11:30 when he got tired. We made it to Carlsbad Caverns five minutes before they let the last ones in for the day. I got to do the driving throught the constuction zones and up the winding trail to the park under a deadline. I'm quite proud of myelf. We were able to do the big room tour and were back on the road an hour later. We ended up stopping for the night at a rest area off of I-10 in Texas.

Today we got up and found a place to dump out tanks and refill the fresh water. After a nice shower we drove into San Antonio around 1:30. This was much better then the last time we drove into San Antonio in an RV. Last time we just drove past the Alamo because we couldn't find a place to park. This time I researched places to park an RV before we got there. We found the spot easily and it was a short walk to the Alamo. We toured the Alamo and then walked over to the Riverwalk. Our boat tour guide was an RM, and during the tour he mentioned that the last time the river flooded was July 2002. This was when we were there with the RV. We had storm follow us all around the country that summer and it followed us to San Antonio. We heard it was coming and decided to leave earlier then we had planned. Good thing too, because we left flooding in our wake.

I do have pictures of the cave, Alamo and Riverwalk, but I will have to post them later as I am typing this on my IPad.

So far this trip does not resemble the movie RV, unlike our first trip, and that is a good thing. Roads have been good, driving has been easy, gas has not been an issue, and we are still completely intact! We are heading out of Texas and will spend the night in Louisiana tonight.
