Today, Dan and I and Sharon and Casey took Gord and Ellie on a day trip to the Gulf Coast.
First stop on South Padre Island is Pier 19
And posing with the statues on the pier.
Then a look at Hooker's Bar.
It was a little breezy and cool when we started out so not many people here.

The weather improved as we moved on throughout the day. A tour of the Marina was next.
Not as many boats there as there are in our Marinas back home.
Then we moved on to one of Casey's favourite bars and stopped for a drink.
We watched a guy do some sand sculptures
While Sharon and Ellie took a walk on the beach, looking for souvenir sand and shells.
We had a " late lunch/early supper" in a great seafood restaurant, then headed on home.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO SHARON AND CASEY FOR SHOWING US SOME OF THEIR FAVOURITE ISLAND HAUNTS.
