First Car Road Trip

Denisa had to return to the San Antonio area for a dentist appointment to get her permanent crown.  So we took Denisa's Mother with us for a road trip that included our favorite things from that area.  After singing in the church choir on Sunday morning in Mission, we headed north for Gruene, Texas, and our favorite (so far) Texas Dance Hall.  If you are keeping track, that would be the third dance in as many weeks.  Amazing!

 Bret Graham was singing the noon to 3:00 shift, and we enjoyed his music so much that Denisa literally danced the sole right off her shoe.  Good thing we had packed another pair of shoes in the trunk of the car!

We had a nice dinner in Gruene and found that this little historical town was packed with people enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  There are no stop lights, so we had police to control the heavy traffic at busy intersections.

We really enjoyed the  Gruene General Store.  Lots of free samples to taste, and fun tourist things to buy.  Mark thinks it is great that we don't have any room for souvenirs, so Denisa can't go shopping.

When you live in a motorhome, you can travel without ever having to pack a suitcase.  But this road trip should be a rare occasion for us. Mark wasn't sure he could sleep without wheels under him.  But it was nice to spread out at Mark's brother and sister-in-law's home.  They have a beautiful new backyard that allowed us to enjoy their company and the weather!

After Denisa's dentist appointment we had a delicious steak lunch at Lucky and Lizzie's house to make sure that the new tooth was up for the job.  Lucky was in charge of the steaks on the grill outside,

 while Lizzie was in charge of the food inside.  They are a great team and made us feel so welcome!

As we left their house, we got stuck in a Texas traffic jam behind a caravan of horses and wagons!
