We got here on December 30th and had one day of semi sunshine and the rest of the days have been overcast, rainy and cooler but this is after all the coldest month anywhere so we put up with it. No choice unless you want to shovel snow!

We took a trip the second day over to Mustang Island just to check out the lay of the land. Ocean was quite rough but there were still a lot of people walking on the beach and looking for shells.

Drove around the campsite as there is a wooded area and a beach area. The beach area has parking next to a cement cabana but you get the brunt of the wind.

There is also a public boat launch and fish cleaning stand. There were a lot of lookers around the cleaning area hoping for a handout.

The park also has a fishing pier. As long as you stay on the pier or on land in a Texas State Park you can fish for free.

We met up with camping friends for brunch yesterday. We had camped with them at Abeline and Hord's Creek so it was nice to spend the day together. Bob and Norma are down on the coast spending a month in an rv park not far from us.
We have checked out a few of the seafood places. Make that more than a few. We do love seafood! Nothing better on a cooler day than to spoon into some shrimp gumbo.
Had to include some sun day pictures. Moving day on the 7th.
