Monday & Tuesday, January 4 & 5, 2010-Stephen F. Austin state park

This is our new home for two out of the next three months, Stephen F. Austin State Park in San Felipe Texas. San Felipe is the Birthplace of Anglo-American settlement of Texas and the original home of the Texas Rangers. There is a lot of history in this area of Texas with the original city founded in 1837. The park is 664 acres with two parts, one recreational and the other historical.

Here we are, all set up in site #23. We had our choice of sites and picked this one because it is level and we can use our porch and steps. We missed being able to use them in Louisiana. Cassie especially hated coming up and down the regular steps.

Here's a picture of our yard. We have an even larger area that is allowed to grow up that is behind the yard for the wildlife I suppose. The best thing about the yard is that I don't have to keep it mowed.

Monday we went into Sealy and ran a few errands and Stella washed our clothes. We didn't go too far away today but on Tuesday we went down to Dickinson to move a few more boxes to storage and then loaded the back of the truck with records and other papers that Stella wants to go through. She will shred the ones that are no longer needed and we will return the others to storage.

Tomorrow is the big day for me to start my park hosting job.

So long.
