Hello Texas

Here is a blog spot that may get big. There is so much to do here. We hit the ground running. With the introduction of GlassParency Premium window treatment from son in law Chad (the Detail Ninja) and offered by 4Bike-Police, we could actually meet all departments if they had bike teams or not. Every agency wants the safest fleet possible for responding personnel during inclement weather. So GlassParency premium window protection is a great fit for us. We left Arkansas and drove for just five hours till we decided to stop. The second best thing about traveling you stop when you want. The place we stayed at was called Piney Point RV park in Nacogdoches, Texas. We went down town and toured the city and had some excellent Mexican Food at El Tomas. Left the next morning on our way to Dickinson. Our arrival at Marquee on The Bay was non eventful until the last few feet.  We pulled into one large concrete pad and Tammy came up and said "No not here come back I cant see the water."  So as I was moving back to the front I turned my 43 footer a little sharp and hit a hole. The tires sunk down in the mud which caused the landing gear to hit on the road causing now a slightly slanted gear. Note to all of you long vehicle drivers, remember your turns even in a park. But only a few words later we were all set up at our new home for the next little while. Set up the hammock, chairs and pet fence and we are set.
Our first night we wandered over to the town of San Leon and stumbled on the Top Sail Grill. Tammy had the best snow crab meal that she ever had. (So she said) It was good and we thought were going to like it here.

Our first two weeks are in the books. Such a nice place here at Marquee on The Bay. Centrally located for us. 5 miles from the Kemah Board walk, 10 miles from NASA. 19 miles from Galveston and the beaches. 24 miles to south Houston. It has a pool, laundry and direct access to the Dickinson Bayou. Just a mile from the park is fresh seafood from Hillmans Seafood. 
We have visited departments in Kemah, Dickinson, LaMarque, Texas City, League City, Galveston Police and Galveston Sheriff, Texas DPS.  We were able to do a few vehicle window protection treatments and dropped off some quotes. Had a great time at the Kemah boardwalk, the Galveston Boardwalk, the Galveston State Park and did the NASA tour. So it has been work and play but nothing less than a great time. I have made seafood in the camper, ate seafood at the restaurants and hit the 69 cent oyster happy hour at Tookies Seafood in Seabrook.
I will break this up into two picture groups. First work and then play.

Living in our new home

So many set backs September and October with my father in law. We finally got him into a home at the Arkansas State Veterans Home. We had been working on getting out of our house and into the camper. Then with Rays placement we had to get his house emptied and sold. Ours had been on the  market for almost a month and our realtor was contacted for his house. Long story it sold before it was even listed. Then November came and we closed on the sale of our house. We had to get out. You move to being gone while still in a house. So In August we moved to Indian Springs RV and mobile home park. It was great, still close to getting our house ready to sell, yet we were finally full timing. All of the fine tuning was taking place. Now just waiting for the right time. With all the kids and grand kids not wanting us to move before the holidays, we decided to stay till Christmas. The first benefit of living on the road you can come and go as you are ready. So its finally going to happened Dec 28 we will hit the road. Load up the camper and trailer and head to Texas. Working 4Bike-Police.com we needed a place that had lots of Police departments and hopefully some with bike teams so we could help them refit their bike fleets. We of course looked though all of the options and Facebook inquiries and decided On Marquee on the Bay RV Resort on the water near Galveston Bay in the Dickinson Bayou.
