| South Padre Island, TX February 20 - 22, 2015 |
|
| Dan and Rose have a sweet little place in Port
Isabel Texas, which is just on the mainland from South Padre Island.
They invited us down (or did we invite ourselves?!) for a fun weekend in
late February. The weather was chilly at times, but it was cold and
nasty back home in OKC so we felt blessed. It was a very nice and
relaxing trip. |
|
 |
 |
| On the way from the airport, Dan took us on a trip down memory lane.
We drove past the house where they once lived in Los Fresnos - this was the site of our wedding. |
Rose took this picture of the many Pelicans just off their lower deck |
 |
 |
| This was a daily occurrence during our trip - a perfect napping spot! | Beautiful Rose |
 |
 |
| Dolphins playing in the intracoastal waterway just in front of the house | Shrimp boats parked nearby |
 |
 |
| Rose took this nice shot of a Pelican |
Dan & Rose's friends Jerry & Mary took this great shot, which I've
used with permission. |
 |
 |
|
Rose also captured these beautiful shots of the sunrise a few days before we arrived. She's got a gift for this photography stuff! |

 |
| On a boat ride to see dolphins, we passed this shrimp boat doing its thing | We saw several dolphins really close up, it was a neat experience. |
 |
 |
| There are two in this picture, but it is kind of hard to see. | |
 |
 |
| I had a knack for taking the picture as they were going down - I'm too slow! | We scared off a huge group of Cormorants that had been sitting on the water |
 |
 |
| Home again, a view of the sand bar in front of the house | Eric getting rigged up to fish off the lower deck |
 |
 |
| I wanted to walk on the beach, so we headed over to the island | Ahh - I love the feeling of walking barefoot on the beach |
 Sand and gulls and waves - I love it |
 |
| Eric saw a girl walking on her hands on the beach, so of course he had to do it. |
|
 |
 |
| Rose took these pictures for us | |
 |
 |
| Sunrise on our last morning | A look at the wonderful front porch |
 |
|
| This is a view of the house with Eric & Dan on the side porch. A great spot! | |
