Off to Old Town Spring, TX

Tuesday afternoon brought an influx of other Pink FlaminGoes to the RV park. The park set aside an area for us so we all knew where we were going to park before we got there. It's a very nice park with ample spacing between sites....and there are a lot of sites situated around two ponds. They also have a lot of cabins....some pretty large here. Plus a pool, tennis courts, jumping bag, and several other games and activities. I'll some pictures before I leave.

We decided to head over to World Burgers for dinner. Great burgers.....lots of choices! I may be in trouble for this picture but it was such a good one of Carolyn.

Sorry, no pictures of the burgers but they were definitely good.

Wednesday morning rolled around and we headed off to Old Town Spring. Wow, it looks like they were expecting us.

Old Town Spring is an interesting place to visit. This was my second trip. You can follow this meandering path around to a bunch of unique little shops.

They have all kinds of shops, some antique stores, and a museum.

The area is not huge but there is plenty to occupy you for a couple of hours or more depending on your browsing habits. There is some parking on the streets, a small lot by the museum, and a larger lot on the edge of the area.

You'll find a number of different places to eat scattered around.

A fire the end of March destroyed part of a 100 year old building closing the popular Wunsche Bros. Café and Saloon. The owners say they will be back but you won't have that choice for a while.

There is also a Doll Hospital in Old Town Spring.

We had lunch at Ellen's and it was delicious. They have all kinds of sandwiches, quiche, soup, salads, etc., that are really good. You can also indulge in some dessert but none of us had room for that.

After we returned to the RV park, some of us were decorating the Rally Room while others were napping......I won't say who. A potluck dinner was on the agenda for the evening. Lots of choices for everyone. We usually "wing it" for potlucks and always end up with a decent mix of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts.

Claudia (as co-hostess for the Gtg with Chris) put together some nice little bags of goodies for everyone. She said her daughter gets a lot of the credit but we all know how delegation works. lol

Tomorrow we are off to learn more about Sam Houston.

Visit to Old Town Spring

April Fool's Day.....how could I have forgotten? Probably because we have been so busy the last week or so. Well we are off on another sightseeing trip today, to Old Town Spring. Deb came over and picked me up and we were off. We had to head back down towards Houston but traffic wasn't bad. I saw a sign for it when we went past heading north but it was a lot more elusive heading south. Of course, it would have helped had we turned the GPS on before we set out.

Old Town Spring is a quaint little shopping area, a little touristy but fun. They have a museum but it was closed.

Anyone need a hospital for their dolls? This place was actually pretty large.

Antique shops are popular wherever you go.

Must have been some Louisiana residents resettled here.

This was not the only Pet Boutique in town. They had specialty foods and lots of parphenalia for our furry friends.

We visited a bead shop with hundreds of different kinds of beads....Deb makes jewelry. An then we had lunch at Ellen's. It was larger inside than you would think and there were tons of customers.

A caboose parked along the main street.

Lots of unique little shops.

There are also homes in the area that are interesting.

All in all, we had a very nice day. We drove back to Lake Conroe to the Thousand Trails where we picked up Duncan, Deb's beautiful long haired dachshund and headed back to Park on the Lake. The dachsies were all happy to see each other again. I was planning to cook a couple of steaks on the grill but the wind picked up pretty briskly so I had to cook them in a pan. Definitely not the same. We all relaxed and enjoyed each other's company.
