Our Lady of the Lake - San Antonio, TX

Free scrapbook personalized with Smilebox

We went to visit Our Lady of the Lake College where I went to school in 1961 and 1962. The name has changed to Our Lady of the Lake Univeristy, it is now coed and the campus is much larger than it was when I was there.

COE Campgrounds

If possible we stay at Corps of Engineers campgrounds. They are almost always on or near water, the sites are generous and if you are 62 or over they only cost half the amount to stay. The sites are usually $20 or so a night so that means we stay for $10. Not bad for water front property.

One of our most memorable stays was in Waxahachie, TX in COE campground which was on the water but was thickly wooded. Shortly after sundown we were surrounded by thousands of fireflies. I did not take this picture as my camera is not able to do this. I took it off the internet but it does show a little of what it was like for us the three nights we stayed there.

Great Visit

While in San Antonio we were able to visit Lydia Rood and her family. Lydia and I worked together in Honolulu during the ISPED days. Her husband Rob is in the Air Force and they have been stationed in San Antonio for the last couple of years. They are on their way to Germany, their new assignment, by the end of this month. Carl and I were so grateful that they took time out from their busy schedule to have us over for the most delicious salad and pizza.

I did this ages ago and forgot to post it. Sorry about that.

Corpus Christi, TX

We went to Corpus the Tuesday before Memorial Day and spent the week there. Used the RV park as our home base and did day trips. The day temperatures were in the 100s. The RV park that we were at had huge trees that was a big help to keep the temperature livable. We are changing our plans and heading north. It is way to hot to tour the South now. We'll go north and come down the east coast and do the south in the fall.
