09/02: Going On Vacation
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
Some people debate whether a retired person can go on vacation or are they permanently on vacation. The other debate is if the so called retired person is south for the winter is that considered a vacation and if so can they go on vacation while they are on vacation. Very baffling indeed.
Whether this a vacation or just habitation in a different location for a few day is irrelevant. What is relevant is that we went to South Padre Island for a couple of days to enjoy the beach. As this winter has been somewhat miserable compared to previous winters in south Texas we were not all that surprised that it was cold, deary and rainy during our stay on South Padre Island.
A group of 7 couples and 4 dogs drove over to the island. In past years we all stop at the Wal-mart in Port Isabel and pick up fried chicken and salads and enjoy a picnic on the beach. This year we enjoyed lunch at the Whataburger though a couple people in our group would question the word enjoy in the begin portion of this sentence.
The weather makes no difference to Zaph. He was ready to play.
Interesting patterns in the sand
Hey, big guy let me grab my side and I'll help to carry the stick
I'm sure there's buried treasure ..... just got to dig a bit more
A big stick, lots of sand, even more water and throw in some waves .... life doesn't get much better. The dreary weather keeps people away so that means freedom for the Zaph ---- the beach is so much better when there's no leashes involved.
