Traveling south to the gulf was a lot of interstate highways and overpasses. We stopped to get a haircut (isn’t she beautiful!) and take care of our laundry. Learning to look for these things as we travel.
It was a beautiful drive to Goose Island State Park. We were looking forward to being camped at the gulf.
In the campground we found The Big Tree – claimed to be over 1,000 years old! Some of the branches were being supported by iron poles – we all get old and need support from time to time!
We hiked around the campsite and enjoyed all the twisty maple trees. Our campsite was all right but had lots of stickers in the grass and mosquitoes at night. We always seem to eat some good food!
North end of Padre Island – Mustang Island Beach!
Our truck floats! We were first in line on the ferry across to Padre Island – pretty cool ride!
First thing we did was to drive right on the beach! I made some interesting tracks as I did a “16 point” turn on the beach!
It was a beautiful day warm sunshine but not hot. The water felt good on our feet – so nice to relax and unwind listening to the waves and seagulls. Ahhhh!
