Moved to Houston

We got to a small area 20 miles east of Houston called Highlands Tx. It is on the bay and the park is nice, big sites and a good dog run for Pepper. We are going to stay here thru the Holidays then on to New Orleans. Just before we left Corpus Christi a 1st cousin of mine Connie Dill (from my dad's side) came to Corpus Christi. She was there on business, she works for FEMA and they had a conference there. Her and Jackie have been in contact for several years working on the family tree. The interesting part is that we had never met. So when we met her at her hotel I said, "Long time no see". She cracked up and that made the visit a little easier to get going. I have 14 1st cousins on my dads side and when I was around 12-13 I met 2 of them. The rest I have never met. She lives north of Dallas, so when we get up to that area she will plan a get together so I can meet her brothers and sisters. After getting here near Houston we took a hour drive around the area of our rv park to get the lay of the land. We rode a ferry across part of the bay and found a battleship that you can tour and a monument for a battle field. It was to cold to tour them so we will visit them later. The weather has been cold in the am and cloudy with wind during the day. But the weather is suppose to get better. Going to go and look around Houston, it is a big city and was hard to pull the 5th wheel thru the other day. We enjoyed Aransas Pass and would go back there. Rv park rates are reasonable there, we paid $250 for the month and $70 for electricity. And we used the ac alot while we were there. At this park we now in it is $350 per month but a location and near a big city. Pepper is doing ok, she didn't like the other park because of the goat heads in the grass and dog run. Here the grass and dog run are dog friendly.
