Thanksgiving Weekend 2011


Waiting for the work day to be over then home to hitch up and go.  I created this link to see if I could post from the phone. 

Out the gate and on the road
Always try to take a parting shot to post on FB so my children and friends know I'm heading out.  We got in about 5:30 PM.  Settled in for the night.

Thanksgiving Morning we put up the R-Dome the dy was forcasted to be in the Mid 80's, the dome was a perfect place to relax and watch the ships go by.



Seating by the Canal watching the ships go by.

 We only brought one Tricycle with us, on this trip.  Myra rode and I dogs and I walked around the RV park and Beach. 

 Thanksgiving evening was un eventfull, we had a simple dinner and watched a movie.
For some reason I woke before dawn Friday and walk to the beach, not more than a half a block from where we were camped.  These are a few pictures of the sunrise.

Believe it or not right after I took there pictures the beach was FULL of walkers and joggers.
Rather be watching the sunrise then at the stores on Black Friday.
 

Site seeing was on the menu for Friday.   We drove up and down the main drag, went on a ECO Dophin Watch cruise, had a Fanastic Dinner at ShrimpHaus and few kites off the canal in the evening.

The weather was Great on Friday, rain and wind were forecast for Saturday AM, so we took the R-dome down late that evening.   The skys were very clear due to the incomming front, with few lights in the area the stars were very bright.   Myra had a great time kicked back in an antigravity chair using GoogleSky to see the planets.

Saturday we woke up late, went to a Christmas Mercado (Market), put on my local artists and did more shopping and Site Seeing at Port Isabel. 


We successfully dodged all the rain, did Xmas shopping around out the evening with dinner and a movie in the podterfly.

The cold front hit full force Saturday night...with 50mph wind gusts, almost considered getting out and hitching podterfly to the truck.  Myra crawled down from the top bunk and slept in the bottom with me, (less motion).

Sunday morning we still had very high winds, but wind adivsory advised the winds would be calming down as the day went on and as we traveled north.  We took our time and stop a couple of places for pictures.


Everything is bigger in Texas including the SeaHorses :)
