Our time at Ry and Jen's was wonderful thanks to our hosts. We had one of the nicest campsites yet (their backyard) with a clean warm shower room (their's) and fabulous tour guides.The highlight of my trip was seeing Loi so enjoy herself walking barefoot along the gulf at Padre Island. This was the first time that she had seen the gulf coast and seemed to truly enjoy herself.
Peeko was a happy camper as well as he ran off leash most of the walk.
The four generations
Our tour guides also took us to the Botanical Gardens. You really needed to stay on the paths here as their were certainly poisonous snakes in the grass and maybe an alligator or two.Jen enjoying the scenery.
There were butterflies
And flowers
And frogs...if you can see them

On this night the guys grilled T-bones....where else but in Texas do you get a family pack of T-bones for only $10.00! They were good.Grandpa, Great Grandma and Abigail
Great Grandma and Abigail sharing a laugh. Little Abigail is the most serious, deep in thought baby I have ever met. I cannot wait to hear how she has planned her world as I am sure this is what she is doing when she furroughs her brow in thought.
And who can resist this shot.
Thanks a ton to Ry and Jen. It was loads of fun and great to be able to spend time with you three.We are now in San Antonio. Today we ventured to the Alamo. We were a bit disappointed as it is very 'touristy'. We were also not thrilled with River Walk...I know I know most would love it but we all prefer the great outdoors, flea markets and thrift stores. Speaking of which Loi and I have found a few Goodwill stores. We both scored today at 99 cent sales!
The weather has taken a turn. From 80 degrees this afternoon to a low of 39 tonight and cool tomorrow. Tomorrow we are off to the Sonora Caves and then on to New Mexico. I hope this cold front moves through quickly!
