Sunday morning driving thru Houston was busy but uneventful. The target for the day was on the east side of this metropolis. The strategy would make for an easy exit the following day. The San Jacinto Riverfront RV park was about 2 miles off I-10 that promised a water fix for Kevin, the Pisces. The first 2-3 rows of RVs were the only spots with any water view and were designated 'premium' sites, as a bonus many of these sites had their own stand-alone jacuzzi! That's a new one! The Smitanic glided into the check-in location, Theresa worked with the staff to check in the new arrivals, Kevin detached the Toad. Once the the Smitanic was secured in its non-premium spot close to the exit, Theresa ventured out to scope out the laundry facility, only to discover that Sunday must be laundry day for everyone! She then elected to venture with Zin around the circumference of the park. In doing so she conclude that most of the 5th wheel and travel trailers were occupied with transient workers. She also noticed an unusually large number of kids riding bikes, playing on playground, and fishing off the pier. A very different life style, but you do what you got to do as a mobile employee. The park offers a great deal for those families staying any length of time. Theresa recalled that her mom survived in a 25ft by 8ft travel trailer with 4 kids (including Theresa as an infant) during one of her dad's many military deployments. “Bet the parks were not nearly as nice back then!” she thought.
Kevin was able to get the Drone out and capture some brief footage that went undetected by most of the park's preoccupied residents.
With everyone busy doing their thing, Theresa seized a couple open washers and loaded them up with the soiled Austin attire. In between trips to progress the laundry to a clean, dry, and folded status, she and Kevin started the arduous Tax preparation task (yuck)! Taxes seemed to consume the remainder of the day. The next day's plan was to finally exit Texas and enter LA.
