Today's Post

Now, today's post. Today was mostly spent fixing up mistakes and, for me, watching a show called Crime 360. This show was about how police officers use high tech devices to catch criminals. It is very good. Anyway, Mom had come back around one and we watched some more shows together and then I was sent to The Cockroach Motel (that is what I called the laundry room) to finish the drying that I had missed yesterday. While waiting for everything to dry I had set up a post on Malkoff Grand Adventure to get more people to visit. When I get back I am supposed to take a shower, then have dinner. I've got to check on the laundry so bye!

Unlucky 7th Post

Yesterday was one bad thing after another. Because of that I was so exausted I had forgotten to write the blog! Still, I had gotten up late and still remember everything that happened. Okay, yesterday was a sad day. It was the day that Dad was going to leave. I was supposed to do the laundry, so I went and got quarters, then went about a mile out of the park and down the street to a fruit and vegetable seller. Looking around his truck I didn't see any bags so I went to a gas station that I hadn't thought about but was probably about two miles away or so. I didn't realize it, but it was very humid and I lost a lot of water, and still felt hot. Fortunately for me Dad had gotten worried and went to find me so he explained what happened. I should start carrying around a bottle of water.

A after we got back Mom said that Sarah and will have the RV to ourselves, so we should play nice and I was to do the laundry. Now, I had decided to just stay at the RV because of the fast Internet connection so I didn't pay much attention and it was nighttime. What was bad about that was that a ton of dune bugs made the laundry room their home and made it very creepy. Still, it was a good dday now that I think about it. Oh well.

Dang It!

Sorry I was so tired from when we got back last night, I had completely forgotten. Sorry! I should try paying better atention when I got tired as well. Anyway, yesterday we had visted the Houston Space Center. I was sort of bummed out because Mom had not made it sound like something that nobody in their right mind would go to. Still, I went and it was pretty cool.

First Dad and I went and checked out a copy of the head of the space shuttle that held all of the gadgets and stuff. Then we went on a tram ride of the working parts of the space center. Then we had lunch and checked out a location that was supposed to feel like being inside the space shuttle, but was more of a flop then a hoot. Afterward we saw a thing about how astronauts did stuff like go to the bathroom and actually showered and things like that. Finally, I checked out a simulation of landing a probe on mars while the rest of the family checked out how to land the space shuttle. All and all it was a good day.

Travel Day!!!!

As you can guess, today was a travel day. Personally, I think that I should just save the story for when I am too tired to write about that day. Anyway, today was too short a travel day anyway. However, we did not leave until later so we got here at around three. I helped out a bunch in the setup, and played for the rest of the day. Tommorow though, we are going to the Houston NASA Space Center, so tommorow will be interesting.

Walk and Apollo

I just got a comment that said that my title should describe the day, but this is describing the afternoon. Still, I think it is good because it is mystifying and a little hard to understand so you are curious about it and want to investigate. Still, I'm not trying to understand the human psych (that is Sarah), so let's get started on the day.
After the usual grumbling and stuff of getting up (I've been thinking and I thought that maybe I should start saying what Mom had cooked for us so here it is: today was a sausage that was flavored I think with a type of apple, some potato, and some blood oranges) we went over to a World War II aircraft carrier called the USS Lexington. Once we got on we split up into a guys and a girls teams for lack of better terms, and split up. Dad and I went onto the bridge and he taught me a ton about the airplanes and helicopters that were on. After some more exploring on our own, we watched a movie on how jet pilots were trained, then went into town.
This is where the "walk" got into the title. On the way through town instead of just driving through, Mom dropped Dad and I off, then drove herself and Sarah home. Dad and I spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the town on foot, ate at a (is it me or does the last three words looked like the first word deteriorating?) very nice cafe restaurant (this was less of a lunch, and more of a dinner, so Dad and I didn't eat dinner when we got back). After that we headed back to the RV park. Since the park was nearby the gulf, we had to fight the wind all the way back.
Finally, the "Apollo" part (before this however, I had looked at my voicemail finally, and called back my Uncle Robert. It was great to talk to him, but I was a little rude so Uncle Robert, if your are reading this, Sorry!). While we were on the way back Mom had gotten the Apollo 13 movie. It is a very good movie, and it is also very educational, so I highly recomend it. After that, I walked the dog and then typed this post. Now I have got to go set up my bed. Chow!

P.S. Tommorow's a travel day so you might enjoy this next part of the blog.

A Lack of a Good Title

Okay, I can't think of a good title, but hey I'm trying right? Anyway, today we went to another town that was farther away called Corpus Christi, so far that we had to take a ferry to it! Sill, that was cool though. We ate lunch at a seafood restaurant, then went to the beach. After playing in the sand for a while we went to a information booth where we learned about the nearby barrier islands and the wildlife on them. After that we headed back and then we lounged about for the rest of the day.

Sorry

Sorry about last night, we were too busy setting up the RV to travel. I'll do today's events though. As I said it was a travel day today, but since we got there in about three hours instead of the usual seven I will talk about what happened after up till now. Also, today's traveling was unusual because since Dad was here (he had arrived three days ago for those of you who are waiting for Mom to write SOMETHING. For those of you who are just reading my blog for kicks I am a part of Malkoff Grand Adventure and if anyone uses my email or this blog for bad things like flaming and advertising you will recieve a minimum punishment of $1,000,000 and a 10 year inprisonment-Mom has the same punishment but she is too nervous to put it up because it might prevent people from coming on) and I was able to play computer during the travel time.

Anyway, when we got to our new destination at ICW RV Park in Aransas Pass, I walked the dog on the 1 mile runway that was the park, I noticed that we were nearby a bay that probably connected to the Gulf of Mexico. Once I was back I was told to take out the chairs out of the car so we could go exploring the city and get a late lunch, so I did and off we went.

After lunch at a very nice seafood restaurant we went and explored the town a little. After a while we noticed a fish bait location and after learning to my pleasant surprise that we had a fishing rod we went in and bought around a pound of what looked like shrimp. Then we went to a nature park and looked around for a while and the headed back. Once we were back I played my game for a while, then did my math for a while, then sat down to write this post. For those of you who are look at Mom's blog she SHOULD have set up a new post. Bye!



P.S. Comments and suggestions would be nice, especially if there is no insulting each other. I am new at this so help would be nice. Any who would write down how to get pictures from my computer onto my blog will be thanked sincerely.

P.P.S. From here on out I will be signing my original posts as Xaven. I like the name and use it a lot on games anyway so don't be surprised!

Hello from the Webmaster!

Hi I'm Dave Malkoff and welcome to my not-so-private journal! I am a member of the Malkoff Grand Adventure, but am tired of having to wait for mom to put up the entries so I will try to get a daily journal of the events. The advantage of this is that it will be all my personal view. I promised not to be judgemental, but I might push the label a little with what I say. On travel days I will put up a portion of my story that I am writing for language arts. A major thing to notice will be that I will make a mention about using the RV Internet connection. We had that installed recently. So have fun, but I will boot anyone using my blog for bad things.
