and now, the "it's tme to leave" rules

After our brief stay in Kuntze, Tracey and I reflected on some new, but simple, and maybe obvious rules...for instance:

1) If you walk into the emergency room, and there is a metal detector to get access to the emergency room, it's time to leave.

2) If you arrive at your campsite, walk to the bathrooms and notice exposed pipes...it's time to leave.

3) Anytime you arrive at a campground, and your neighbor has a fence (2x4 and cinderblocks), watergarden, shed, lawn equipment, and various other items, living and non, it's time to leave.

4) If two kids (affectionately now known as "the tennessee two") great you as you open the door from parking, JUST LEAVE. (more on the tennesse two in a second)

5) If for instance, one was to back into a tree, while parking, while looking at the sticker that says, "Always use a lookout while backing up"....It's time to leave. (not that this happened, I'm just saying if it did, that's bad karma and you should go on down the road)


and another "rule of the road" that is just so important for anyone considering an RV trip: When you can shower, shower. You just don't know when the next one is going to be.





As promised, more on our friends, the Tennesee Two. Like I mentioned, we pull into the "other" campground, we were greeted by two little boys, twins actually. Both on matching bicycles, neither with shirts, nor shoes, but one, with a coat and the other, camo pajama bottoms. (He was the ninja warrior ) They quickly explained "Mama said don't talk to the neighbors." which of course was a green light for my family to "dig in". Twenty wonderful questions ensued....


and a picture for you to see the Tennessee Two...our time was short, but the impact was lasting.

and yes, I'm contemplating right then and there...."how fast can I pack all this crap up, and get the h#!! out of here!"This picture is just so great that I wanted to post it tonight. My kids have been troopers. Seeing them together with big smiles and hearty laughs has been such a great thing. This was taken on Lake Livingston in TX. End of a long day on the road and as you can see, they are up for anything..so we went swimming in the pool. Good times and cold.

Look for more on Lake Livingston tomorrow from Tracey.
