Living life

Tuesday-Wednesday, Nov 7-8

Tuesday we decided to visit the Lousiana Boardwalk, which is a big shopping center in town.  It is open air so we went early since the skies looked like rain.  It is suppose to rain this afternoon.  The center was pretty empty, compared to what we are used to.   It has a large selection of stores but no big "anchor stores", except for Bass Pro Shops.  We spent a couple of hours wandering around.  I like that they have a trolley running up and down the center.  If you get to the other end and are tired you can ride back for free!

We decided to have lunch at Saltgrass Steak.  I had a hamburger and Bill and soup and salad.  All of the servings were really big but good. 



We made it back to the rig before the rain hit and boy, did it hit.  Turns out there were thunderstorm warnings, tornado watches and warnings and a lot of thunder and lightening.  The camp host came by and said if we hear sirens to go to the office building.  You betta!  We got through the evening with no problems.  We decided if it was still raining in the morning we would stay another day.  The morning dawned with beautiful weather, a little cool but nice, so off we went. 

On Wednesday we headed toward Arlington, TX, which is in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  At lunch I called the campground and it was a good thing I did.  They were full!  Oh no!  So we went on-line and found a place a few miles further down the road.  I think our second place is nicer than the first one was.  We are at Cowtown RV in Aledo, TX (Just west of Fort Worth).  We are going to stay for 2 nights and go into town for  the day. 

That is all for now.  Enjoy the pictures.
