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.
