Our Rio Grande Valley covers from Brownsville to Rio Grande City/Roma area.  It's basically Spring, Summer & Fall here year round.  There is very little Winter.  There has been snow here twice in the last 120 years or so - the last one was in 2004 on Christmas Day.  What a treat for the natives down here. 

The Winter Texans (as opposed to the "Snowbirds") have varied entertainment here in the Valley.  They can choose from horseshoes, shuffleboard, tennis, some of the finest golfing, swimming either in the park pool or on the beach at South Padre Island, enjoy jam sessions, play Bingo, play cards, gamble at the local small casinos, visit birding sanctuaries, check out the Iwo Jima Memorial & Museum, visit South Padre Island, go to Mexico 7 days a week, take tours, sing Karaoke 7 days a week, go bay or deep sea fishing, watch the dolphins, shopping till they drop, and much much more............. Los Fresnos on Hwy 100 toward South Padre Island has one of the best PRCA rodeos in the Nation early every February. The farmers raise cotton, corn, soybeans, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes but the biggest crop down here is sugar cane.  Lots of truck farming.  The fun thing about Mexico (we all go to Nuevo Progresso) is that we can kick up our heels over there & unless we run into one of about 500,000 Winter Texans down here, no one knows us!!!!!!!!!  For those who are first timers down here and want to go to Mexico, the Border Patrol is saying that you MUST have a passport card or passport to come back in to our own country.  If you go across with your birth certificate, they will let you back in, but pretty much make you feel like a criminal because you haven't gotten your passport or card.  Sam and I purchased the passport card because you can cross either border with the card, you just can't fly.  Sam doesn't care for flying, so there was no need to get the regular passport.  The card is basically the size of a credit card with your picture on it (mine is an awful picture - about like driver's license pictures).  The Chambers of Comerce down here say there are half million+ Winter visitors here about every year.  Don't know how the economy and gas prices going back up again will affect the Winter Texans this year.  We'll hope not. . One thing about the Valley, the grocery prices & eating out down here is so much more cheaper down here than out of the Valley.  You can save enough on food to pay for gas coming & going.  We have all the latest food places & department stores as well as flea markets everywhere.  The new Rio Grande Valley Outlet Mall just a few miles west of LaFeria on Express 83 has been swamped since it opened couple of years ago.  We have Walmarts all over the place.  You all need to come see our Valley where the flowers bloom all year long.

           We are one of the hundreds of RV parks dedicated to making your Winter months entertaining and enjoyable.  We have 34 rental spaces for RVs and 4 mobiles.  We have a clubhouse which is where most of the activity is here in Pleasant Acres  We have shuffleboard under our pavillion, a horseshoe pit, jam sessions, bingo, Karaoke on Friday nights, cookouts, breakfast once a week as Sam loves to cook, parties for about any occasion and lots of fun!!  We are probably the only park in the Valley with a tree with a couple of faces in it!
