Monday
What an exciting moving day! We took the Turtle on the ferry from Port Aransas over to Aransas Pass and then on to San Leon. We could have traveled back over the causeway to Corpus Christi and then up the coast but it would have added about 50 miles to our trip so we decided to give the ferry a go. We had seen dump trucks make the trip as well as a number of other RV's, and Max had talked to the ferry guys who assured him it would be no problem, so we knew it could be done. Nevertheless, it was a "sit on the edge of our seats" kind of moment. When you pull your house onto a ferry, you're definitely praying it doesn't sink! :)
Once we were safely on, I of course had to get out and snap a shot. A young couple next to us was smiling at me. I told the woman, "We sure feel big on here!." She said, "You ARE big. But beautiful!" Awwww, we think so, too. :)
We made it off safe and sound and then on to our next stop--Bay RV Park at San Leon, TX. It's an Escapee park and the rate is nice. It's also much smaller and quieter than our last spot in Port Aransas, which is also a nice change.
Tuesday
We plan to do a bit of sightseeing and visiting friends while we're here. Today we drove over to Kemah, only about 10 miles away. They have a wonderful little boardwalk area. You can enjoy carnival-like rides, restaurants, an aquarium....
beautiful flowers....
and "feeding the fish". For $.25, this is what you get.
Max tried feeding the fish but quickly found out the seagulls are much faster than the fish. They were catching the food mid-air!
