Drive to Lackland AFB

Since the cold front came in last night, we decided to leave Rockport and head to San Antonio.  We drove to Lackland AFB and here are some pictures I took along the way.  At the end, you will find multiple airplanes and jets which are at the museum plaza at the entrance to Lackland.   I think it is an awesome display.

We leave Lagoons RV Resort.   We had a great time at this park, Richard. Thanks for the recommendation.

We HAD to make a u-turn at this airport, motorhome and tow, because we saw the following sign…

We could not believe this sign…..Wife Needed…..she has to be very pretty and very catholic. This was so funny!  Check out the house he lives in……

Corpus to SA 250

Yes, this is the house or shack….I just love the patch-work roof.

Corpus to SA 252

Well, he has horses or mules, a car and a pickup and an orange tree full of oranges right in front of his house.

Fancy paint job on his tailgate…..I dared not get out to take pictures, he may think I am applying!  haha  This was just hilarious!  Hey, Mark, he does not even have to go to Walmart….as you say, you can find anything at Walmart, even a wife.

Larissa, Arianna and I decided to leave Manuel behind and we headed to the library to check out some books and movies.   We saw this beautiful MCI bus belonging to the USAF Band, Tops in Blue.

Here is their 18 wheeler where they carry the instruments.  Beautiful rigs…..

We arrive at the library and Arianna finds the most comfortable chair, a rocker.

Corpus to SA 293

They both search for the books they want and pose for grandma.

Corpus to SA 299

They sit to make sure what they got is what they really want….

Lari has made her choice while Arianna is still trying to decide.

Corpus to SA 295

We drive around the Airplane Museum Plaza.   I wish I knew names of these planes but I do not.  Manuel knows a lot of them but he is busy watching a movie.   He later went to the library to check out his own movies since they are free.
