RVing to New Braunfels~Part 1

Once upon a time (like last week), Jack & Middy came to town to go RVing.  We picked them up at the airport in the evening, and stayed in a local RV park for the night. The next morning, Rio Raft RV Resort in New Braunfels was our destination, a location that placed us in close proximity to lots of fun places!

We've been accused of being on a Griswold Family Vacation (Adam!) which just might be true depending on who you ask.  Nevertheless, we were happily minus the dead granny on the roof!  

When we arrived at Rio Raft, we decided to hang at the RV the rest of the day and we had a merry good time doing so.  Middy and I got a hold of the Rock Blocker microphone, and suffice it to say that I'm glad there were only a few RVs in the park!  

The next day, we ventured to San Antonio.
First stop, The Alamo.

The main attraction was next,
the festive and quite beautiful River Walk.

The usual suspects on the River Walk.

I goofed up on the collage below and made "River Walk" one word!  I'm having trouble editing it to get it fixed.  I've spent four days on this post so I give up!  

Please use your imagination and 
pretend  you're seeing two words! 
You hallucinator you! 
(Hallucinator is my new made-up word). 


Lunch @ Ibiza

Do they look alike?

Oh happy day!

I'm in mid sentence (as usual).

Surprise!  Cheese!

I love those George smiles!

Walking, shopping, and numerous stops for snacks and drinks happened throughout the day.  Dick's Last Resort was one of the stops. 

If you're not familiar with Dick's, they take pride in being rude.  Our waitress did a great job of it too! She was from Boston (or Bahston if she's pronouncing it.)  I asked how she ended up here, and she said it's because her "stupid boyfriend lives here!"  Tee-hee!  
The waitstaff also twists up hats, writes comments on them about customers, and places them on the customer's head.  We were almost ready to go when the hat fun began so we escaped it.

Again, insert imagination here.

Would you believe that laughing
took place while we were there?

Hee-hee-hee!

Saturday night lights on the River Walk.

The next day we went to Gruene.  

We started off with lunch on the deck at the 
Excellent! 

Two happy pals!

Thumbs up!

Of course, we stopped in at Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas.  

The Steve Helms Band was pickin' and
singing their Texas tunes and others.

Attention diverted from
the band for a photo!

Of course, shopping took place!

In one store, the only person working 
was sound ASLEEP behind the counter!

After Gruene, we went back to the RV and watched the Tennessee/Alabama game outside.  It was a beautiful day which turned into an equally beautiful evening.

Big Vols fans!

The next day, we headed back to the house but before leaving New Braunfels, we stopped at Cooper's Old Time Bar-B-Que.  Wow!  I highly recommend it.
  
To sum up the trip,
It was delightfully ducky!

I hear your "ugh" groans!

It truly was a wonderful trip!  The San Antonio River Walk was my very favorite part of it.  We really need to go there more often!

Wishing You River Walk Smiles,
D~~~~
