Halloween in Texas

We’ve been in Terrell, Texas for a week and a half – enjoying the free WiFi connection Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park offers their guests. Although, I’ve mainly used it to download updates for Windows and other programs. The laptop drive went bad so I replaced it and started from scratch. Dallas has Fry’s and Microcenter stores in addition to CompUSA and all the other geek shops I frequent. We definitely have to settle somewhere near those stores. We won’t be settling in Texas though. It just doesn’t appeal to me for many reasons but I don’t want to upset any Texans, so I’ll leave it at that. It has been interesting to experience Texas though, just like all the places we’ve been.

On Friday we went to Screams, an incredible Halloween theme park. It was really fun. The best part was watching Gera scream and jump out of her skin every time one of the actors turned from a statue to a gruesome moving figure! She laughed after each fright but her heart was racing. Ed did well. A couple actors had loud chainsaws (with no chains of course) and they freaked Ed out a bit but he had a blast. The place was packed with people and it was a real mass-party atmosphere.

Today is Halloween and we have a couple things lined up for Ed, then Monday we’ll be on the road again, heading toward New Mexico.
