We wanted to go somewhere not too far away, but somewhere we hadn't been before. An extensive search on the internet revealed Fernbook RV park, south of Longview, Texas.
We headed out and arrived about 11:30am. Got set up and enjoyed lunch and a nap. When we got up, the temperature was definitely cooler! Tropical Storm Lee, churning in the gulf near New Orleans, was creating a large area of rain and clouds over most of Louisiana and East Texas! We were spared the rain, but enjoyed the cloud-cover and cooler breezes!
We planned to eat dinner at a special place in Longview, Johnny Caces Seafood and Steak House. It has been here in Longview for 60 years. Tony's family loves this place, they would stop and enjoy the wonderful seafood, when they passed through coming home from a trip to Shreveport, LA. It's been a VERY long time since we've been here, but everything was as wonderful as we remember!
After dinner we drove around Longview a bit, then came back to the park. it was soooo nice outside, we went for a walk and explored the park's facilities. They have a nice pool, a great meeting space and area for weddings/events, and lots of other nice amenities. We spent a good hour outside enjoyng the great weather (81 degrees at 7PM!), watching the edge of the clouds of Lee churn nearby.
We are really enjoying our escape for the weekend.
