Jan 13-18th...from Kay Texas adventures

January 13-14-15-16-17-18^th 2011

the 13^th….It was a very rainy windy time-(been that way for couple days), and we decided the USS Lexington would be inside so we toured it, but so cold on top deck, just couldn’t enjoy that part as much.  We enjoyed the tour just the same all 6 of us.  Gary and I had been on the tour before, they had individual narrators we when did it in 2005, but not this time.  Okay, but not as learned if would have had a narrator. 

We ate lunch at Joe’s Crabin in Corpus Christi and the waiter did a little train dance for us that was cute, and food and atmosphere was great too.  Ate so much at noon when it came to suppertime, we snacked only.  

the 14^th…we washed clothes and shopped for groceries and cooked supper…pork chops and sauerkraut…fresh vegetables and fruits here are awesome.  Gary & I waited for Josh who arrived before midnight, hugged him and went to bed.

the 15^th…(Saturday) the 7 of us took off for Corpus Christi to tour the MUSEUM to view the 3 Columbus ships, spent about 3 hours there so much to see and so very nice. 

Time for Lunch..we choose Landrys Restaurant and ate fish as usual.  We then toured the Texas State Aquarium, which was nice also, they had a really nice Dolphin show, and each of us enjoyed finding the sea animals in the glass displays.  The 7 of us came back to Rockport & went to church at 6:00 and had plans to go to Big Fisherman, but were not hungry after eating so much at noon.  So we just came back to our comfortable House at Rockport to R & R and eat snacky food mostly for supper; besides there was some kind of Football game on with Green Bay Packers...

…16^{th …} (Sunday) Josh left for Corpus Christi to tour the USS Lexington.  He continued on to South Padre Islands then to stay overnight.  He bartered for his room had to beat grandma’s $60 quote and got the Ocean side room for $55.  He walked/jogged the beach and took in the ambiance of the ocean beach area too.

…17^th…we met Josh at King’s Ranch in Kingsville, TX toured the ranch which was okay, but Gary and I enjoyed the Ranch in Montana more as we didn’t get to see all the cowboys working on this Ranch of 825,000 acres.  Saw lots of ranch animals and deer-birds in the wild however.

…18^th…Josh left for Goliad ( a bit north of Rockport..Mission Church similar to the Alamo), then he went into San Antonio to tour the Alamo & the Riverwalk, and onto Dallas for the evening to drive back home to SD/Minnesota for the weekend.  The 6 of us washed clothes again, got groceries, and sat in the SUN all afternoon for R & R.

….19^th is planned for the 4 Krcils to drive to San Antonio for their Alamo and Riverwalk tour.  Gary and I shall R & R  & find our turtle souvenir for our Rockport TX excursion.

As Ever, Kay
