Ok, it is getting close to summer and that means my birthday.
I want to go to the beach for my birthday. :P

Does anyone know a good place to camp in or around Galveston?
Dave and I have camped at Galveston S.P. and there are still 80+ spaces there.

Is there some other place that would be good?

We could camp July 11-13th. 8) How about it?

Yes, if I have to, I will host. :oops:

Hey, maybe the Bluebonnet 2.0 will be ready by then!!!

It is on for July 11-13th
Matagorda Bay RV Park looked so good that I called the park manager. He said "no problem with getting us all together."
Here is the RV Park web page: http://www.matagordabayrv.com/
Camping is $25 a night with no entrance fees.
Up to 8 people per site and everything is brand new.
They had a Casita gathering in December with 20 trailers - lets beat that one!

Everybody, call the Texas Parks to make reservations for July 11-13. (512/389-8900)
Let them know you are booking a stay in LCRA park Matagorda Bay. That is Lower Colorado River Authority.

Sonetpro and Cindy will host.
Lets have a Tropical Island theme for the gathering.
We can have a luau instead of a potluck and I'll even wear a grass skirt. How about it Linda and Ed - you already have the decorations!

Who will join us?

I'll probably be bring 2. I should have the kayak I am building finished by that time. Doubt I'll be brave enough to take that one in the surf, but the plastic one should see some Gulf time.

kayaked? Is that a word?

The guy said the river is on the other side of the park to swim or fish. I have never kayaked. Might be nice to try.

Cindi Sounds great ! I will try to make the campground at another time.

I wish I could attend but that is my swap week that I work seven days for 12 and 13 hours each day of that week. :cry:

92 hour work week! :cry: :shock: :?

It could be worse and be a 184 hour work week with 24 hours off to start another week. ;)

The following week I will have Thursday and friday off before I have to be at work Saturday night at midnight. :oops:


:thumbsup:
