Livingston, TX



Right now, we are enjoying an evening rainstorm at the Escapees Campground in Livingston. The drive from Lake Conroe to Lake Livingston was beautiful. It's amazing how much more rain this area gets than Austin. Everything is lush and green, and we saw some stunning fields of purple flowers (not sure what kind). Each night the frogs sing us to sleep, and we have seen lots of bunnies and bats. Shanti and I have been going for bike rides together down scenic rural roads, the kids swim with Grandpa Johnson and their daddy each afternoon, and Vashti enjoys chasing the bunnies through the field as it gets dark. Today we visited a local history museum with an old steam engine and and old historical cabin. We plan to stay here until Tuesday. The mosquitoes are huge, but slower than the small ones!

How cool! what an adventure you and your family are on. We are a family of 5, 2 boys 1 girl we have always talked about just hitting the road to a more adventurous and full life. Maybe watching you and your family will give us the push. We are in the mountains of Western Maryland close to Gettysburg Pa lots of history good stuff for kids. Many blessings your way on your family adventure.

Peace,
