Only in Texas

Yesterday we arrived at the Bayview RV Resort in Rockport, Texas. Only in Texas would you see a natural gas well being drilled right in the middle of an RV park. That's Texas for you. This is a beautiful area near the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It reminds Mom and Dad of the areas in Florida where the snowbirds spend their winters. Today we went to Corpus Christi and visited the Padre Island National Seashore. I still don't like the waves crashing so I stayed away from the Gulf of Mexico. Lenny loves water but even he was leery of the waves crashing in. We loved the beach and the sand. From there we went to see the retired aircraft carrier the USS Lexington, moored in Corpus Christi. Mom and Dad remember when the "Lady Lex" was an active duty carrier based in Pensacola, FL. Afterwards we took Lenny to McDonald's so he could have his first "Happy Meal". He seemed to enjoy it as it was gone in no time. Mom and Dad love to spoil us, and we eat it up.

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

Happy St Patrick's Day to all of our Irish friends. I hope you all have a bit of the Irish luck today. Don't forget to eat corned beef and cabbage today. I think I will stick to my regular dog food though. Today is packing day for us. Bright and early tomorrow morning we pull out and head for a week in Rockport, TX, near Corpus Christi. We have "hitch itch" and are so ready to leave. This park is celebrating Spring Break and it is packed.

Have a good day and I will add more when we get to Rockport.

Springtime In Texas Means Bluebonnets

Today Lenny and I got our picture taken among the beautiful Texas bluebonnets. Notice our neat bandanas. We have our names on them. This is a great time of year to be in Texas. We are really enjoying the wonderful weather. Lenny and I are able to spend a lot of time playing outside. Mom and Dad have extended our time here at Lake Conroe for another week. They are having the oven repaired and the parts have not come in yet. The oven has never worked right so they are hoping to get it properly repaired this time. Last night, Mom and Dad went out for a barbeque dinner with friend and former colleague Roy Royston and his girlfriend Vickie. Mom and Dad had a very enjoyable time with Roy and Vickie. Roy and Vickie made sure Mom and Dad brought us home some great Texas barbeque to munch on.
