Coffee, Beer, and Potluck

Saturday morning we all met up for coffee and chatting in the Rally Room. Have I mentioned that we were at the Lake Conroe/Houston North KOA? It's a very nice park with a lot of amenities. The only complaint we had was that the advertised indoor heated pool was not heated....broken for some time it appears. The hot tub was quite nice and hot.

Some of our members have lots of decorations around their RVs.

Giant chairs but I didn't talk anyone into climbing up for a photo opportunity.

Our group were all in nicely spaced out in pull through sites.

A very nice walkway across one of the ponds. A fly-fishing group was taking good advantage to practice their casting.

The pool and hot tub are inside this building,

There is a playground and a jumping pillow that the kids had a lot of fun on. Sign was up for activities in the Craft Room.

A tennis court. They also had two dog play areas and a laundry room. They have a number of Rally Rooms.

We gave a local German restaurant a try at lunch and it was very good. There are a number of great places to eat right there in Montgomery.

Afternoon included a tour of the Southern Star Brewery in nearby Conroe. Southern Star is the largest craft brewery in the country according to our tour guide.

Each of the tanks had a name. It was interesting but the line wasn't actually running during the tour so we didn't see any cans being processed.

 

Some of the group was napping while we toured but we were all ready for the Saturday night potluck. Everybody brings a dish and it always seems to work out that we have enough appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Actually, we always have a ton of food which usually means we eat leftovers the next night. Sorry, no pictures.



A Day in Montgomery TX

Today was our Montgomery day. Good thing our plans are always made in jello. The plan was to visit the Farmland Historical Park and Museum but when we arrived, there was no one there and no explanation so we moved on to the second stop of the day....brunch at the Magnolia Diner. This restaurant was a great find. They serve homestyle food and breakfast all day. Think Belgian waffle with chocolate chips and strawberries or waffles with eggs and bacon or biscuits and gravy. They did a great job taking care of all of us.

Later on we took a little tour of Montgomery. There is a nice little square with shops on one side of the highway. The chain type stores and restaurants are on the other side of the highway.

 

 

We also had planned to go to Sunshine Farm but it was raining so we decided to pass on that one.

 

Later on at Happy Hour, we had a Bon Voyage party for our friend Sharon who is leaving Texas and heading home to Pennsylvania. Sharon is one of those people you just feel lucky to have pass through your life. She is always a joy to be around. We will miss her but her spirit will be at all our future GTGs. 

The weather cleared up and we had a lovely campfire later in the evening.
