We drove north and east through Texas towards Dallas. We had a reservation at an RV resort this time. Neither one of us are big fans of the resort type campgrounds. They are usually crowded, small sites, and expensive. That being said, we did enjoy our stay at Northside RV in Waxahachie, TX. This town is just south of Dallas. The campground had 2 dog parks and a laundry facility. It was super clean and well maintained. We got to take long showers and do laundry. I got to relax, Aaron got to commute to work each day, and Murphy got a front row seat to all the action in the dog park.
When Aaron reserved this campsite, he did not realize how close to the dog park it actually was! If Murphy wasn’t playing in the dog park, he was watching all the action through the windows, and barking and whining because he could not be out there every time a dog was there. It was a good training experience for us and the dog. He learned not to bark every time he saw a dog, and he learned that sometimes it is OK to play with other dogs, and sometimes other dogs do not want to play.
We saw some beautiful sunsets while we were there!
Once again, it was time for me to fly to Iowa. My dad has doctor appointments every month and my brothers and I rotate months to take him. That way they do not all fall on one person. November was my turn. So, Aaron and Murphy and I got up very early Thursday morning and drove to the Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport. Dallas at 5 a.m. is a cool looking city. I did not have enough sleep or coffee to think of taking pictures on the drive. The buildings were lit up so creatively. The town was still excited about the Rangers winning the World Series.
I got on a plane, and Aaron and Murphy went back to Waxahachie to pack up the camper to continue the journey east into Louisiana. Look out Louisiana and Iowa…we are on the move again!
