Rockport,
Texas
Weather
Conditions; Cloudy, 75 degrees
We
had a visitor. Our very good friend Paula came for a weekend visit.
Paula
had never been to Rockport so we wanted to show her as much as possible in two
days.
She
arrived Friday evening and we were up until midnight talking.
Saturday
morning we had breakfast and then jumped in the car for site seeing.
The
weather was beautiful so we went downtown Rockport to see what was going on. We
stopped off at the Market Days area and strolled through to see what the
vendors had to offer
We
drove to Goose Island State Park. We drove through the park and looked at the
camp sites in the woods and the sites on the beach.
We
drove over to the Big Tree too. The picture doesn’t do this tree justice. This
tree is massive.
As
we were leaving the Big Tree area we noticed the whooping cranes in the pasture
across the road. It was hard to get a decent picture because they were so far
away from the road.
There
were many whooping cranes and Sandhill cranes hanging out in this pasture.
We
drove around Fulton and Rockport showing Paula the sites.
We
stopped off in Fulton at Moon Dogs for a late lunch.
They
have these crazy bar stools and we had to get our pictures made with them!
We
went back to downtown Rockport and strolled through the Main Street shops.
We
returned home to grab our lawn chairs and then back downtown for the Tropical
Lighted Christmas Parade.
The
parade was great and lasted about forty-five minutes.
We
returned home after the parade for a glass of wine, cheese and crackers.
On
Sunday we drove over to Port Aransas so we could play on the beach.
Again
the weather was absolutely beautiful. We hung out on the beach for a couple of
hours before moving on down the road.
We
stopped off at Mustang Island State Park and showed Paula around. We also
walked on the beach while there.
From
there we drove towards Corpus Christi. We stopped by Snoopy’s for a late lunch.
Dawn
and I ate at Snoopy’s about fifteen years ago. It’s still a great place to eat.
It
was late when we got home.
We had more wine with cheese and crackers.
Paula
had to leave Monday morning. We can’t wait for her to visit again.
