roughing it in the RV

All packed & ready to go.

So the week before last we took a road trip to Port Aransas.  We checked out the beach, missed Tropical Storm Don, which never materialized, and later went on to Victoria to attend a wedding.  Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures on the beach because the winds were so high that there was a lot of salt & sand spray in the air and I worried about the camera.  (Also, because I forgot.)  But we played on the beach Thursday night, Friday morning and afternoon, and Saturday morning.  Also, we drove in our rented golfcart a couple miles down the beach Friday evening.  Mustang Island was packed, despite the high winds.  Then we drove around town, stopped at a souvenir place, and cruised back.

Saturday we left the campground and headed to Victoria for a wedding.  It was nice because we could leave Sophie with her Mimi in the RV while Stephanie and I went to the service.  But we did take Sophie with us to the reception.  She had a great time seeing her Gramma, Grampa, and all my cousins.  And she danced a lot, had cake, and got to participate in her first Grand March.  Saturday night we drove on to Gonzales, and Sunday headed the rest of the way home.

Here's a few pictures that are all over the place because blogger really stinks for arranging them.  Grrr.

Nueces Co Campground.  Just behind the dunes.

Beach overlook.

The golf cart we rented.  You can drive these all over town.

Stopping for shaved ice.
