Today, we drove to South Padre Island. Thank you Cousin Janice, for all the tips on where to go, and what to see. We had a heck of a good time!! What an adventure. As an aside, we do have a scratch on our Cannon pocket camera lens, and it's time to replace it. Before we headed over to the Island, we were in Port Isabel.

We left the beach, and got back into our car.
Our Garmin told us to continue on...so we did
We left the beach, I looked at our Garmin, and said to
continue on so we did! And this song played on the radio, on Tom
Petty's Station (Sirius) while we drove....it could not have been more fitting.

| We don't know how this RV made it onto the Beach |
We got off the beach and continued driving down Ocean Blvd..a sign warned of drifting sand onto the road...
We turned around, and landed at a place called Clayton's. They allow Dogs. So, it was perfect.
