That was easy...

My part in being a Father?  Well, I didn't have to do the whole childbirth thing, so there is that.  ;-)

Today's drive was only 100 miles or so.  Of course, it was the corridor between San Antonio and Austin, so that means a shit-ton of traffic.  What?  Shit-ton?  That means: a lot.  For fun, there was construction almost the entire way.  This is the fastest growing area in the US, and I guess the road infrastructure is always trying to keep up with the increasing population.  There was road construction here 24 years ago when we were driving between South Dakota and south Texas... it appears to be never-ending.

We fueled up right before we pulled into the last place.  Too bad for me, 'cause I didn't get to stop here...

I like Buc-ee's, but no desire to go in there and shop... or just go look at all the shiny, clean urinals.  Nope.  No shopping for 50 different kinds of jerky or 100 kinds of hard candy.  We didn't need gas, so no stopping at one of the 100 or so fuel pumps.  Not in the age of the Corona Virus.

We pressed on.  The traffic continued to thicken, along with the construction...

The last two miles before bailing off the Interstate was stop and go.  You can see all the construction along the right side, making for skinny lanes and exits that are changing and not well-marked.  So, that was fun.  Joan routed us different from either of the GPS units, and it worked out fine... once off the Interstate, the traffic was only moderately heavy, not bumper-to-bumper, stop-and-go.

She guided us right to the RV park, even though their huge sign was not visible from the direction we approached.  We pulled in, parked in registration parking, and I went to the office door, where our packet was waiting in a box.  Easy enough to find our site.

This is an upscale RV Park, so we probably won't have scenes from "Cops" like we did Friday night.  This place also bills itself as "Austin's only tiny home community."  Very trendy.  Just what you'd expect with Austin.  I may walk through that area just to look around, later.  It was 96º and blazing sun while we got set up in our site...

The RV sites here are long, so they can easily accommodate our length.  Unfortunately, the utilities are right in the middle of the site, so we had to do some maneuvering to make it work.  We will need to get the scoots out to take mine for service on Tuesday, and Joan will do some grocery shopping tomorrow, so she'll need the car.  That means we need access to the back of the cargo trailer and be able to take just the car.  So, that meant: unhooking the car from the coach, pulling the trailer around to the front of the site, backing that in where we can still get the gate down, unhooking the trailer, then pulling the car around to the back of the site again.  It just takes a little extra time to get it all "staged" so each unit can be used.

We planned this place around getting the Vespa serviced.  The Vespa shop isn't open on Mondays, and we didn't want to spend another weekend at home... so, out on Friday and a few extra nights in the San Antonio/Austin area.  You gotta be somewhere, and this is as good as anywhere.  Sometimes we look for an RV park that is inexpensive and easy-on/easy-off the road.  Sometimes the location is the most important criteria.  This is one of the closest RV parks to AF1 Racing (the Vespa shop).

If it wasn't so blazing hot out, it would be nice to sit under the awning and enjoy the outdoors.  Not now.  If the virus wasn't "out there," it would be enjoyable to spend some time at the pool.  Not now.

So, we are enjoying the air conditioning in the coach and watching "Dads," from Apple TV+.  So, I guess I'm not the only good Dad out there.  :-)
