Doing Laundry at the Campgrounds Really Has Changed!

Image
When we arrived in Houston, it was time to do a little bit of laundry. Off to the laundry room I went, detergent, laundry and roll of quarters in hand. What a surprise when I got there! No coin, slides on the machines, just a machine on the wall, begging for me to put a credit card in it. So I did. And I got me a shiny laundry card complete with a chip in the card. Woo hoo, let’s get these clothes washed. Woah there partner, you just bought the card…..now you need to put some money on the card. Oh good Lord, all I want to do is wash these clothes! Several more donations to the box on the wall and I finally got the laundry finished. Oh and I got the keep the laundry card. Perhaps there will be another laundry room where I can use it. Once in San Antonio, there was more laundry to do. Off I went again to the laundry. What would I find in this campground? Here, the machines took credit cards directly.

Never Seen Anything Like This - This Is Gas Station!

I have never seen a gas station this big! Just for cars and RVs. No Tractor Trailers allowed! This is Bucee’s in Katy, Texas. Apparently Bucee’s is not just a gas station, but a destination. We stopped at another Bucee’s closer to San Antonio. It wasn’t as big outside, but the inside was crazy amazing. They had a bakery, fudge, and every kind of Jerky you could imagine. They were carving up a freshly smoked turkey for sandwiches and had pulled pork sandwiches as well. There was so much to see and so many good smells! I think that was part of the reason we arrived in San Antonio later than we planned!! Next time I’ll take pictures of inside. Bucee’s in Katy Texas This just one set of pumps. The small bank. This is the car wash area. Dash and T/T Dash at the pump. Texas Size Jerky
