Our first visit to Thousand Trails was at Lake Tawakoni

We figure it was about 20 years ago that we made our first visit to a Thousand Trails campground. Pop (Leo) and Peggy had purchased a membership, and they invited us (and other family members) to go. At that time, Thousand Trails had rental trailers that guests could stay in (now they more have cabins, though I think I saw rental trailers at Menifee Lakes in California).

As we drove around the campground when we arrived on Wednesday, it is painfully obvious that this campground was really gorgeous and set up so nicely when it was first built... but unfortunately, not much has been done to it since then other than just basic maintenance.

We really don't remember a lot about our stay back then - we remember playing miniature golf, and we remember a few key features about the rental trailer... specifically,
- there was no soap dish in the shower
- the shower was so small that to bend down to reach the floor, you had to step out of the shower
- if someone dropped the soap in the shower, the person in the bedroom could hear it, and would be prompted to laugh uncontrollably, and their laughter would shake the rig so much that the person showering would think that the trailer was being moved!

We also remember having a nice time with family!
