Rex and Nancy's Travels - "ALL WHO WANDER ARE NOT LOST" - JRR Tolkein

We are enjoying spending time with Jen but, unfortunately, Jeremy is working and will be gone until after we leave. He is an electrical engineer with an oil company and works at a site for 10 days straight and then has 3 days off.    The first couple of days we were busy getting a new tire for the 5 th wheel and ordering a new air condition cover from Camping World.    On Mother’s Day we drove to Corpus Christi and did some more shopping and Jen took us out for a nice lunch.   Monday we drove back to Corpus Christi and spent over 4 hours touring the USS Lexington, a retired aircraft carrier that is now a museum. The 120,000 sq ft flight deck had about 20 vintage aircraft displayed.    We were also able to go into one of the anti-aircraft gun stations.   We toured the super structure and Jen enjoyed the great view of the flight deck from one of the officer’s chairs. ...

We left Benson, AZ on April 30th and headed toward Midland, TX where we are going to visit with Rex’s youngest daughter, Jen.   We stopped in Van Horn, TX and spent the night at the KOA.   We arrived in Midland on May 1st and are staying at the Midessa Oil Patch RV Park.   Boy is it hot here – it is 104 with 50% humidity.   It hit over 100 every day we were here but the humidity did go down some.   It is so hot here that the tents even have air conditioning!   This is tent camping Texas style -   they also had a TV.     We met our new grand puppy – a very cute 11 week old miniature dachshund puppy named Haley.  She is such a sweetie!      Camille and Cody were not sure what to make of this wiggly bundle of energy.   Cody did play some with Haley and her brother, Jack (a Jack Russell-Chihuahua mix Jen has had for 4 years).   Jen also has 3 cats and a Gecko....
