Day 268  Hard to believe we've been on the road that long.  The 6-week hiatus in Desert Hot Springs was a welcome break, but we're glad to be traveling again.

We pulled into the RV park in Port Isabel, after an 80-mile tough drive in the wind and the rain, about 1:05.  We had been discussing how Dave could get at his rain jacket so that he could unhook and then direct me into the site without drowning.  As soon as we pulled in, the rain STOPPED!

Now, at 3:45, it is still very windy, but the sun is out.  BTW, it didn't start raining until we were on the road.

We spent the last two nights in Mission, TX.  We used yesterday as a "down" day; Dave finished up the taxes and I read a great book "Keeping Faith", by Jodi Picoult.  We took Snuggles for a few walks during the day, but she especially enjoyed just lying around on her dashboard in the sun.  After 4 days of travel, she was ready to be able to run around in the coach.

We're off to check on service times for tomorrow.  We'll be here a few days before we leave for Florida.  We will be staying with our Rhode Island friends in their "winter home" for a few days there.

We hope to get Snuggles out on the beach on South Padre Island, if the weather cooperates.  I also hope to get to the new Birding Center on South Padre.

Next week is Ash Wednesday already!  And it's only 6 + weeks before we see our family at our grandson's wedding!
