Yesterday we took a day trip down to the Corpus Christi, Padre Island area. It is the first time in a long time that we have done a day trip and it was nice to get out and about.
Remember you can click on a picture to enlarge it.
We were looking forward to driving along the beach on Padre island, but the road runs down the middle of the island and there is nothing but grassy stuff the whole way. We did take one of the beach roads and found out you can drive and camp on the beach but decided against that.
We went to the national park entrance but it was closed, but we were still able to drive in and were very surprised to see all of the cameras on the entrance.. what the hell is this about? One of them did take our picture on the way in and out.
From Padre island we moved on to Mustang Island which is much more populated. Lots of houses, condo,s and resorts. By this time is is getting on to about 1:30pm so it was time for a lunch stop. Pulled into Moby’s seafood restaurant because the parking lot was kind of full. Good call. Very neat place.
Linda ordered stuffed crab with coleslaw, garlic bread and fries
and I ordered coconut shrimp with the same sides
Both meals were very, very good and we enjoyed the décor as well.
After the great lunch we headed north again and ran into the ferry. Had not planned on a ferry ride, but there it was and it was free. A very short wait and short ride of about 10 minutes. They were running 4 ferries and they hold about 16 cars or two semi’s and a few cars.
After the ferry ride, it was time to start heading back home. It is about 80 miles from Corpus to Whitsett and a very boring drive thru south Texas.
Today is a sit at home day, and tomorrow a very busy day with a stop at the dentist for Linda’s crown, ENT doctor to have my ears cleaned, Vet for dog shots, Walmart, laundry, liquor store….than it is out of here on Friday heading to Houston.
Hope you have a wonderful day’
Love to all of ya
Jim and Linda
