Rockport, Lake Texana, Houston and Lumberton, Texas

This is a long blog about our adventures through Texas! You might want to read from the bottom up. I have it all backwards again. Maybe by the time we return i will get this blog formatting! Arg. I have been so busy with my work that is has been hard to keep up with the blog.





These pictures below are of the place we have been for the last week. It is Lumberton, Big Thicket State Park. This is one of our favorite places so far. It is beautiful, green and lots of trees. There are perfect mountain biking trails through out the park that lead to creeks and forestes.





This has been a wonderful place for us to relax, catch up on work, school and camper repairs. We have enjoyed this place so much and will miss it.





Today we are heading into Louisiana to the Annual Crawfish Festival in Beaux Bridge, LA. Yippeee, I am ready for some seafood....Cajun style!
