Padre Island National Seashore

Today was the day! We went to the beach......We've never been to Padre Island National Park so we drove out there and I must say it's lovely! After leaving the inhabited part behind we drove through unspoiled dunes and grasslands before we even got to the park.

There is at least one campground there and it's almost on the beach and depending on how you park your rig you can see the Gulf. no hookups but it would be nice to spend time there.






















After we strolled around and I took a gazillion pictures we left and drove to Mustang Island to have a late lunch. We went to Moby Dick's and enjoyed a cold beer and seafood. Jim had a fried seafood dinner and I had grilled mahi mahi, both came with fries and slaw.
Once home Jim took a nap, I guess the salt air just tired him out! I watched my soaps and entertained Boo and read for a bit. I'm enjoying my Nook!


I hope your day was enjoyable!

I was up before the sun this morning. I don't mind because I get to see the sunrise. Because of the cloud cover I didn't think we'd have a sunrise, but I was wrong. Just had to wait for it!

Sun peeking through the clouds around 0745. I can see choppy water in the bay and along the seawall the waves are crashing ashore. I could get used to this....
While waiting to wake Jim I noticed this heron sitting on the light pole. Not sure when Jim got up but after he did I started my chores. Dishes, bed making, etc. I dressed for going out because it's Sunday and we needed bread and milk and I wanted a newspaper. After spending thirty bucks we had our bread and milk and then some but no paper.
Back home we had pizza for lunch. Jim had a supreme and I had a roasted veggie without cheese. We both enjoyed our pizza. Jim turned on a movie and it was awful. After lunch he turned off the tv and went outside to clean some on the rig. Inside I turned on some football!
I couldn't watch the Saints so I turned on the Giants-Titan game. Sonsearae kept me updated on the Saints, but even in OT they lost. Bummer
Jim restrung one of the blinds after having to go to JoAnn's to buy more string. It's not an easy job, thanks sweetie!
For dinner we had spaghetti, salad and some green beans (leftover) with a lovely glass of chianti. We were watching a Resident Evil movie and after it ended and the dishes were done we went for a walk. It was around 1900 and the sun was sinking in the west.

Unfortunately the mosquitoes were bothersome and we didn't walk very far.


This heron was in the field and stood still long enough for me to snap a few pictures.
It was a balmy, breezy day here
