We had a lazy morning taking our time getting dress and packing. We were gonna go for breakfast at the club house but we missed out. We were on I-35 by 10:40 AM heading south and wouldn’t you know it, we have a strong head wind; good thing we don’t have far to go. As we were nearing San Antonio, there was an accident on 35 North and the traffic was backed up for at least 6 miles if not more; glad we are headed south! We finally turned south-west on 410 then I-37 to our Park.
We arrived at Braunig Lake RV Resort at 12:15 PM and it is cloudy and very warm, 80*F! We paid $47 for two nights under “Passport America” and set up in site F12. This is another very beautiful park, near the Highway but quiet and close to San Antonio. We are here for two days; it is warm, windy and cloudy.

travelled 81 miles in one hour and 40 minutes @ an average 50MPH due to strong

Sunny, cloudy, warm and windy again! After a lazy morning and a walk with Tucker, we drove to San Antonio for a visit of the “River Walk”. We love this part of San Antonio, we walked by the Alamo and it was busy as usual. Parking cost us $10 for the day which is pretty average. We stopped for lunch on the Walk and went into the Avilla Village but most of the shops were closed; we had the same problem last time we were here. The day was gorgeous and not too hot. There were lots of people around, being a Sunday and there was a run in the neighborhood too which brought a lot of those people down to the Walk. It was time to go home so I entered HEB in Miss Daisy and she took us to the HEB headquarter, here in San Antonio. I tried one more time and this time, she took us to a real grocery store so that I could pick up milk, chips for my snacks and wine for Val. We came home and met a couple neighbours...why does it always happen when you are about to leave!??? Tomorrow we head for Aransas Pass and Corpus Christie. I posted more pictures on Picasa.
We left by 9:20 AM, fuelled at a nearby Shell @ $3.85 then headed south on I-37. Thank goodness, we had the wind behind us as it was blowing quite hard. There is a cold front coming through keeping the temperature around 48*F in the morning and 64*F in the afternoon. We turned East on 188 south of Mathis and eventually reached our camp site @ Southern Oaks RV & Golf Resort in Aransas. It is a brand new resort and they are still working on the golf course but there are 5 holes open out of nine and the driving range with free balls. We arrived at 12:30 PM, paid $52.50 for 3 nights (Passport America) and set up at site 505 on a cement pad with grass as a front yard and full hook-up but you do have to pay extra for WIFI and cable. The club house is also brand new with an exercise room, a huge dining/dance hall and a kitchen, laundry room, library, a games room and TV room. The owners are also new and are hoping to make this a success. I would say they are off to a good start, too bad the owners of our Resort at home are not as keen!!! Anyhow, I made a couple searches on the Net including a grooming place and got a haircut for Tucker for tomorrow morning; hopefully he won’t play his silly whiny game and let the poor girl cut his hair. I also found an RV place to get a couple things to fix the problem with my water pump. We were told by our neighbours that everyone meets under the trees across the way for Happy Hour, we will be sure to attend tomorrow. Oh yeah, I also downloaded a bunch of caches to find in the next couple days. Let the fun begin, we are here for 3 nights
