Brownsville, TX is the southern-most point of the Lone Star State. Why would someone from Michigan go there? Because on a cold day, it’s 60F. Also, because there is a population of mid-westerners who are winter Texans, and one of them is a friend of ours.
We arrived at the 4 Seasons RV Resort on Monday. Our friend, Jon (along with his friend Danny) met us at the gate and escorted us to our camp spot. We spent the next few days relaxing and exploring the area. On Tuesday, Donna and I trekked out to the Palo Alto Battlefield National Park. On Wednesday, Cindy and her friend, Sherry, took Donna shopping. Jon, Danny and I visited the “library”. And on Thursday we met with Ruben and Dorena, a couple of friends from Donna’s work, who took us border shopping in Progresso, Mexico.

We didn’t make it to Boca Chica, so we will have to come back. The cloudy weather didn’t lend itself to a beach visit, so it wasn’t a big miss. We spent the rest of the time visiting with Jon and Cindy. There were a few beers drunk and we may have regaled one or more war stories from our time in the service. Overall it was a good visit.
The 4 Seasons MH and RV Resort is a 55+ park. The people all seemed very friendly, enjoying their winter in Texas. We arrived during fun week, and there were a host of tournaments, including darts, cards, boccie ball, shuffleboard, and pickle ball. We did not participate, but it looked like the resort was doing a good job keeping the residents entertained. The camp spot was big enough for our rig and the dolly. And it was full hook-ups. And the staff was super nice. http://www.4seasonsmhrvresort.com/
