Leaving our Work Camp

As we left Stonebridge RV Park we said good bye to the other work campers, Mike, Gail & Coco.  Every morning as soon as Bruno could tell Mike was up, he had to run over there to say "Good morning"

It was really foggy as we heaed towards Houston.

Big city ahead, Houston, Texas.

Thought this was a neat building.

We headed to Hilltop Lake where Don had a lesson.

Galveston, Texas

We took a day and went to Galveston to the Railroad Museum.  It was closed when we were here last year because of all the damage caused by Hurricane Ike in September 2008.

Do you think the real car is a little bigger?

 It's a real shame that these cars suffered so much damage.  Most had been restored.  We could see the high water mark on the cars, it was over our heads.

Look at the tree growing out of this one.

I loved this old relic of the past.

Including the one in the pink shirt and hat.

And this one.

This is an old steam tractor.



This is more devastation that Hurricane Ike caused.  As you know Galveston is a long narrow island.  It was hit on both sides with wages, 17' on one side and 18' on the other.  hey must have met in the middle. 

I loved this chess game, people were actually playing a game.

 I know I took a bunch of pictures of these colored houses last year, but I took some more, I absolutely love them.

So unique.

I love the different shapes.

Way behind

WOW am I behind.  We kinda got settled in here at Stonebridge, did our workamper jobs, socialized with people by the large ourdoor fireplace.

Roasted marshmallows, they even have flavored ones now, the chocolate ones are yummy.

We went into town occaisionally, mostly to Bay City but sometimes to Lake Jackson. I loved their street names there. They also had a street named That Way but unfortunately I was driving when I saw that one and couldn't snap a picture.

These flowers are pink and they are everywhere right now, very pretty.

 

See the mud tower?  There's a hole going right down the middle of that.  This one was about 6" tall.  (I got bitten by fire ants taking this picture, they really do a number on you.)  They're homes for what they call crawdads, or what we call crayfish.



Then we had the snapping turtles that would cross the fiield trying to get to the pond.

This pond was stocked with fish, but only "catch & release" was allowed.

And there we are in site #1.



And there is Don, doing his favorite thing, riding something.
