The Blue Bell Ice Cream Factory

On Wednesday, Patsy and I took a road trip. We went to the Bastrop State Park to check out the facilities. Like Lake Somerville, it is a very nice park with good camping sites. It also has a large swimming pool. We did not, however, take any photos!

On the way back to Lake Somerville, we had planned on going through Brenhem, TX to visit the Blue Bell Creamy. During the trip, we had the chance to go to the other campground associated with the Lake Somerville State Park, the Nails Creek Unit. It was not as nice as the Birch Creek area, and it was much more isolated and out of the way.

We got to Brenham right at 4:00PM, and the last tour was at 4:00PM.......... and we just barely made it. They did not allow cameras on the tour, so no pictures, but we did get to sample some ice cream............ now I have a new favorite, Pecan Praline Ice Cream!!

Here are a few pictures of the grounds:

We left Lake Somerville on Thursday at about noon, and headed to the Colorado Landing campground in La Grange, TX to meet for a weekend rally with the Lone Star Allegro club. More on that later........................
