October 28-November 3, 2018
Up and out at 8am on a Sunday morning, great way to get
around San Antonio with little traffic. 174 miles, almost 4 hours, and we were
pulling into Gulf Waters Beachfront RV Resort in Port Aransas TX where we own site
623. We surprised our friends J
with our early arrival. A quick visit with our neighbors, got things a little
settled and we were off. First stop to say hi to our friend Pat and Rena who
now own a home about 2 miles down the road. Then it’s off the Peggy Ann for
some fresh shrimp, $100 later we were stocked with shrimp and bait for Dave. Shrimp
prices this year are $8/pd for jumbos and $5/pd for the large/medium mix, we
certainly have missed the local fresh shrimp. Back home and we pay a visit to
the beach, then it’s time to get really settled and relax, we’re here until
2/1. 
It took us 51 nights and 2752 miles to get here the long way from Iowa. We had a blast traveling with our friends Curt and Glenda, exploring
new places, attending the TX Grand Design Rally with our friends Jim and
Ginnie. Dave sampled 50+ beers and we stayed at some great places. Now to
unwind, enjoy the holidays and get ready for our eastward trek. As usual when
we’re in one place for a while I won’t be blogging as much, so don’t be
surprised if you don’t hear from us regularly.
The first couple of weeks we had beautiful weather, Dave got
lots of fishing in and I enjoyed beach walks and just being back in a familiar
area where we don’t need a GPS to find everything. The last couple of weeks
have been rainy and much cooler, sure hope that changes soon.
With Thanksgiving week upon us my brother, sister-in-law and
niece are in town. We enjoyed a great visit with them. Next time we see them
they should be living here in Port Aransas permanently. This coming April they
are putting their home in Colorado Springs on the market and moving down here.
They have been waiting for my niece to graduate from high school which happens
in May. It’ll be nice to have them down here full time, we’ll get to see more
of them when we are here next.
Happy
Thanksgiving!!!!
Until next time…
I bet it is nice to be back "home" where you can just sit back, relax and let winter take over the northern states. Beautiful sunset pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely place you've picked for your winter home but I hope you won't quit blogging while you are there. I'd like to hear more about it and see lots more pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to head to Port Aransas last winter, but after all the destruction from Harvey, we changed our route. We'd still love to get there one winter since it seems like such a beautiful spot to hang out during the colder months. I'm glad to hear people are heading back and moving there and it appears from your pictures that the sunsets are as pretty as ever. Love the new valances. Our fabric ones are still in decent shape, but they are patterned and I absolutely love the idea of having simple, single-colored ones instead. They really look great!
ReplyDeleteYes it was fun traveling together through the states. Found some new places. Glad you're settling in on the coast. Would love to have some of those shrimp. Of course I hope to get some crayfish as we travel through the gulf states next spring. Looks like a great start to the winter.
