Busy Week

We have had a fun filled, busy time this week.  That is going to be my excuse for not posting sooner.  These winter Texans sure stay active around here.  Gorgie and Pam have been going up to the clubhouse for the morning exercise classes and then going for a walk.  Harold and I have been walking at some of the bird watching areas. The other day we went to the Iwo Jima memorial, and Marine Corps Museum, that was inspiring.

There was an all day music festival on South Padre Island that we attended.

You probably didn’t know that Elvis is a winter Texan, did you?

   Or that Gomer Pyle also winters down here.

 

 

 

 

 

The entertainment was pretty good and lasted for seven hours, a lunch of fish and shrimp was included in our $15.00 admission.

  The venue for the music fest is a water park in the summer, with lots of pools and slides for the kids.

South Padre Island is quickly becoming a favorite place to visit. If we come back here I think we will stay on the island for a while to soak in the “Island Life”.

  The gulf is beautiful. It was 74° that day.

 

 

 

We hosted a birthday party for Duane who is one of our new friends.

We were still on the Island at sunset so we just had to stop and enjoy the view, the sunsets here are spectacular.
