Victoria, Texas – Here We Come

We decided to hightail it to our daughters, which means day driving and quick overnight stops at Harvest Hosts. Our first stop was Sweet Organic Farms. The owner Karen took us on tour, and we picked up snap peas, lettuce, and some other fresh-grown veggies. What she and her son have done with an undeveloped parcel of land in four years is truly praisable.

Next stop – one of Mitchell’s favorites – Eastbank COE campground. This would be our fourth visit, and we never tire of its serene surroundings and glorious sunsets. From there, we stopped at a golf club Harvest Host – our first! We don’t play golf, so we patronized the club by having dinner in the clubhouse. It was a great experience, and we will most likely be revisiting one along our travels.

We stopped at Vermilion Historical Museum. It is an outdoor museum spanning 23 acres along the banks of the Bayou Vermilion. It has 25 structures which nine are original, restored homes. There are artisans dressed in historical attire, demonstrating local culture and history in both French and English. We had lunch in the restaurant, and most patrons were speaking French.

Our last stop was the Equal Parts brewery. Thankfully, both our daughter and son-in-law drink beer, so we purchased a few crafted beers to bring to them. Finally, after a push to get to Victoria, Texas, we pulled into the city park for our three and half week stay. Can’t wait to share all our adventures in our next blog.
