Texas - Merry Christmas

From Brazos Bend State Park we ventured to the little town of Blessing.  Unfortunately this little town is in need of a few blessings.  Some businesses are closed and others are trying to upgrade their facilities but the overall residential district was very depressed.
We stayed two nights, got the laundry done, took a car trip to Matagorda Bay on the coast, ate Gumbo at a local eatery in Palacios, shopped for some groceries and just generally gadded about.

December 23, found us making our way to Brackenridge RV Resort on Lake Texana.  Lake Texana State Park no longer exists and has been given over to the same authority that runs Brackenridge RV Resort.  We will stay here until after Christmas and Boxing Day.

It is truly amazing the number of people with families that choose to camp during the holiday season.  But then again the day time temps are in the 70's and the night time temps have been 60F+.  It is very high humidity and that is bringing on a thunder storm in a day or two.

Tomorrow we will cook our turkey and have it with all the trimmings and enjoy every bite.
