Our ultimate goal is to get to Sealy, Texas where Terry’s sister Debbie and her husband Ralph live. On our way to Sealy, we’ll make two more stops. Our first stop will be in Brenham, TX at the Blue Bell Creamery for a tour and ice cream, of course! The second stop will be at Lake Somerville, just north of Brenham, to spend one night.
BLUE BELL CREAMERY
Closed! It’s Saturday and they’re only open Monday-Friday. That’s one of the disadvantages of winging it. We’ll be back.
Blue Bell is closed! No wonder their parking lot was empty :-)
LAKE SOMERVILLE
Our second stop is Lake Somerville to spend one night. We have fond memories of camping and waterskiing here in our car-camping days. It’s the end of January and it’s been warm. This weekend the campsites are all taken, except one which is available for one night We took it! We’re still having problems getting campsites on the weekends in public parks. We avoid private campgrounds because they are like parking lots and often do not give you a feel for the area. We use them in a pinch or if we need their facilities.
We got the last site. We're parked backwards in the site to make it easier to level the RV. It also allowed our big dining room window to overlook the lake instead of our neighbor.
