Padre Island
The group we hang around with like to do an overnight trip to Padre Island each year. As most of the group had gone on the bus trip to Mexico I was given the task of finding a hotel --- preferably on the beach. The "on the beach" part didn't work so well but I did find a hotel that allowed dogs, had the nine rooms we need and had a "walkway to the beach".
Our convoy of six vehicles left the park at 9am arriving at the Wal-Mart in Port Isabel about an hour and a half later. Here we stocked up on lunch supplies --- fried chicken, salad, rolls, fruit and cake, then drove over to the community park on Padre Island. Lunch included a celebration of Jean's 70th birthday that will occur in April and Darlene's 70th birthday that was in August. The ladies were given "barbie" tiaras to wear and cake was served on "barbie" plates --- Jean collects Barbie dolls thus the theme. After lunch we headed to the beach where some of us got to relax, others flew a kite while others were expected to throw a ball so a certain four legged creature could run through the water chasing it.
The hotel has a pool and hot tub which was enjoyed by a few people in our group including Ed and myself.
Unpacking lunch --- this group really new what they were doing, as we were eating in about 5 minutes
A freighter leaving the harbor
Jean's dogs were decked out in tiaras as well. The white one is Coconut and the apricot poodle is Ginger. Neither of them were impressed, so they offered the tiaras to others in our group.
Zaph --- tiaras are for girls!!!!
Oh, it sure feels good to roll on a ball on the sand.
Kite boarders kept us entertained.
Will someone please throw my ball?
