Another warm day in Texas

This morning we headed on over to King Ranch for a morning tour. On this ranch they have over 825,000 acres of land, 60,000 head of cattle and 300 horses. We only got to see a tiny fraction of the operation. If you want more information just check them out online. Our bus driver suggested we check out Lydia's for lunch, seems like we were not the only ones who took his suggestion to heart. We choose the special - beef enchiladas with retried beans. You might be starting to think about how we can choose to eat Mexican food so often, but the reason is simple. We like it.

Drove through Corpus Christi over the large bridge and onto the north part of Padre Island. Stopped to take a walk on a pier and enjoy the sound of the ocean as the waves gently crashed onto the sand. We drove along the island, as someone of TripAdvisor said it was a nice drive, although I did not find it to be so as there was very little to see. Upon reaching Port Aransas we took the very short free ferry ride across the causeway and continued on our way. Our next destination was Fulton Mansion. Unfortunately we arrive a little too late to take a tour, so instead we walked around the old place and took a photo from the front porch. What a lovely view!

Tim just had to stop and pick up some fresh shrimp which he is currently eating at the moment. Not tasting quite as he had hoped, so hopefully sometime on our trip we can find a nice restaurant who knows how to cook up some yummy (or in my case, yucky) tasting shrimp. Each to their own, as the saying goes.

Our next plan, or travel trip was to head towards Galveston but as night fell we decided to stop in Angleton, at a WalMart of course.

Another perfectly warm day in Texas.

Thank you Lord for loving us the way you do!
