These are pictures from three trips we took in January 2010. The first trip on Wednesday, January 27 was to the Cowley Sugar House and Mill in Santa Rosa, Texas. We learned about the growing, harvesting and processing of sugar. The second trip was on Thursday the 28th to the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas. We took a behind the scenes tour of the zoo. The final trip was to the Port Isabel Yacht Club Hotel and Restaurant in Port Isabel, Texas. We had dinner and some of us stayed overnight.

Here are a few pictures of a gourmet meal served at our campground recently. Read more about this meal in Tom and Louise on Tour in North America, a blog by TBUTLER.

These are just a few of our pictures from the big trees in California. We visited this area in 2002, our first summer of full time travel.

In 2005 we spent 8 days in Big Bend National Park during the peak season. We were treated to a desert in bloom. This was our first experience with the beauty of desert flowers.

We visited Death Valley National Park the first year we were full timers. It remains a favorite memory for both of us. These pictures are just a few of the adventures we had.

A few photos from our trip with our grandchildren.
