Second Wii Bowling Night - Sat., Feb. 27, 2016

The first Wii bowling night we had in January at Travelers World RV Resort was so much fun, we wanted to do it again!

I must give a big "THANK YOU" to Don and Jocelyne who were the instigators of this new activity last month. Jocelyne spent a lot of time organizing the teams and setting up the Wii on bowling night. They also spent time teaching people how to use the equipment and play the game. In addition, they set up their Wii game in the Rec Hall for a couple of weeks ahead of time so people could practice.

We closed the office a little early tonight so those of us who work at Travelers World could make it for pizza dinner. On the menu were pizza, popcorn, cookies and brownies.

Once again, the bowling lanes were marked out on the Rec Hall floor to let us know where we could bowl. Thank you to the maintenance crew and Terry for keeping us in the lines.

We again had ten teams of four which made for lots of friendly competition. Everyone had their own bowling style. Looking at all the photos together like this, it looks like we're dancing.

You can see from the photos that daytime turned into night as we spent about 3-1/2 hours bowling. Everyone had a great time, even the spectators. There was lots of high-fiving and fist-pumping.

Here's our trophy.
Thank you to Delia and Fran for selling refreshments and to Bob E. for providing bowling music. It takes a community to put on these events. We're thankful we have many helping hands at Travelers World!

These evenings are so much fun! I'm thinking this coming season we may have Wii bowling leagues form.

All for now. January and February blogs are all caught up.

A Volksmarch through Outlet Store Malls - Sun., Jan. 31, 2016

Today, our activities are diverse: a Volksmarch and a visit to a Snake Farm and Zoo. Susan and I were up early. We had an hour drive to the Outlet Malls in San Marcos.

We walked the malls twice to make 10k. Window shopping has its pitfalls. We ended up buying a few things along the way. If you get a chance stop at the Outlet Malls in San Marcos. It's the biggest group of outlet stores I've ever seen in one place.

Walking six miles makes the stomach hungry for food. Both Susan and I love Johnny Rockets, so that's where we chose to eat lunch. It was very good!

After we finished out 6.2 mile Volksmarch, we went to the Snake Farm and Animal Zoo near New Braunfels, TX. Because I work in the hospitality industry, I need to keep up on local attractions so I know whether to recommend them to other RVers.

In addition to all the snakes, lizards and alligators inside the building, there was a zoo outside with animals as well. These were much more friendly looking!

I'm glad we went, but I'm also glad I had a Groupon (buy one get one free admission). The Snake Farm and Animal Zoo is mediocre at best. You don't need to go out of your way to go here.

After the Snake Farm, we each headed home. We had a very nice time today.
