Board Games Prevent Boredom On A Rainy RV Holiday

While out doing a windshield tour of Del Rio, Texas I discovered, to my absolute delight, the Whitehead Memorial Museum. Anchoring this museum is the “Old Perry Building” built in 1871 before Del Rio was a town. For many years this building served as the largest store between Austin and El Paso. It served as a public gathering place, a courthouse, church and post office. Upstairs living quarters experienced the coming and going of many children. Living was hard and leisure time was at a premium, yet they had time to enjoy music (you had to make your own in those days) and table games by kerosene lamp. Seeing this antique set of dominos reminded me of the many fun times we’ve had with our kids playing board games in our various RVs. Whether card games in the pop-up trailer, Scrabble in the travel trailer or Yahtzee in the 5th wheel we always had fun on vacations. We discovered a good selection of board and table games was essential for a successful RV vacation especially during foul weather. This concept is equally if not more important when the grandchildren go along with you in your RV. These games will create fond memories for your kids and grandkids so be sure to have some on hand. Domino games like “Mexican Train” and “Chicken Foot” can generate a lot of fun and a new combination card and board game our grandkids love is called “Sequence.” They always want us to play it with them when we come to town.
