I made breakfast for all this morning, French toast, bacon, and eggs.

We went for a walk along the beach, the dogs loved it, chasing the birds, and getting a little wet, not too much though LOL.  It did not take long for them to dry off.

After lunch we headed to Port Aransas, crossed on the ferry and then headed to Rockport after stopping at a couple of flea markets.  In Rockport we went through a number of museums/art galleries and toured the area.

Key Allergro – million dollar mansions with both 3 – 5 car garages and boat slips right outside their homes
Homes on concrete or old telephone pole stilts – to help get rid of the water during hurricane season.
Rockport  - the largest crab
Liferafts for the numerous oil platforms in the gulf.

Old mansions


Wind swept trees

Vadie made a wonderful BBQ’d chicken dinner for supper.  We had dinner outside listening to the waves crash against the shore.

The weather continues to be extremely nice for us.  Today the temperature was moderate, about 22C and has not cooled down this evening, it is to stay humid and warm 18 C all evening.  I have to admit that this is very difficult for us -  NOT.
