Sea Breeze RV Park, Portland, Texas (Nov. 17- 18th), 2011

Sea Breeze RV Park View
Our Tree Boss- Woody Miller
Set-Up waiting on The Trees
 Since we had to report to the Christmas Tree Lot at 8:00 a.m. on Friday the 18th, so we decided to camp locally and scope out the area, you know, the grocery store, the tree lot where we would be camping, the laundry mat and the surrounding stores/restaurants.  We stayed at a very nice RV park called Sea Breeze which we were not accustomed to such luxuries, such as pool, hot tub and full hook-ups.  They also had a club house, pool table, library, horseshoes and clean restrooms and showers and free internet.  We had to get our last hair cuts because we knew we wouldn't have the time during our Christmas Tree lot sales.  We were to work 7 days per week from 9:00 a.m. through 9 p.m. which does not leave much time for personal items like food shopping, laundry, post office etc.  It was on Jordan Lake and even had a small Gull Island.  The fishing pier extended onto Nueces Bay and they too had birdwatching.  We usually don't stay at these types of parks because they are a bit pricey, but it was only for one night and we stayed for the convenience because we normally are not too early morning people.  So we stayed the night and mentally prepared ourselves for the long tree set up/sales for the next month.  We were ready.  Bring the trees!!!!!  Last year they sold over 600 trees not like our 400 + trees that we sold in 2010 in Palm Spring, CA.  Were we up to the challenge?
We shall see!!!!!
