In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Sam Houston




Diorama inside the Sam Huston Museum after Sam defeated Sana Ana. Judy, Sharon & Stacy at the entrance to the museum.






How about a 67 foot tall statue of Sam?
We had a surprise call from Sharon & Stacy Tuesday night, they are 20 miles away!! We drove to their site in the Sam Houston National Forest (beautiful CG!) this morning and picked them up for a day in Huntsville. We checked out tall Sam, had a great lunch at the Farmhouse, then spent a few hours on the 20 acre Houston Museum grounds. There are two of his homes there along with the museum on the grounds of his homestead. I remember him from Texas history but learned quite a bit more about the soldier, statesman politician, and only man to be the governor of two states. I'll have to get a biography about Sam to read.
