Spring Break Santa Ana NWR

Day 2 – This is where there is a lot of conflict over a border wall.  It is beautiful country – would be a shame to divide it.

Spring Break 2017–Rio Grande Valley

After 2 long days of driving, we arrived at our campground in Palm View TX.  It was an RV Park, with mostly retirees who treated C and Reed like a little princess and prince.  The kids were doted on and loved it of course – I think it was their fave part of the trip!

I’m always amazed at how, when we just get out of the house into the outdoors, and the kids have only each other to entertain, they get along so well!
