Just recently a group of ladies left the park for an excursion to the hill country for a little wine tasting. They boarded the RV coach at 7 am and were off for whatever the day would bring. The designated driver made sure there was plenty of snacks and beverages to stave off hunger until they reached their destination -- Johnson City, where they enjoyed a delicious, leisurely lunch at the Silver Spur Cafe.
Their next stop was the Texas Hills Vineyard. They were given a brief tour followed by a sampling of five different wines. Yes, they did try all five, and yes, they did purchase a favorite or two.
Upon leaving Johnson City, the group wasn't ready to head back to Rockport just yet. Since they were so close to Fredericksburg (which just happens to have wineries), they decided to stop and visit one. Deciding on which wines you want to sample can be a challenge with so many choices -- reds, whites, dry, sweet, fruity, and so on, but the ladies managed the task. Five more samples and a few more purchases before they were homeward bound.
The 12-hour round trip took a little longer than planned. The GPS miscalculated a "relocating" command and lead them to a wrong turn. However, they didn't mind. They trusted their driver, and besides, they were having a great time with their buddies, talking about everything from A to Z. They even played a few rounds of their favorite Mahjong game while watching a movie (multi-tasking). They had a wonderful day and a return trip was put on the "to do list" for next year.
