Good Bye to Old Friends and Welcome to New Ones

On February 9th we went to a UT Exes Game Watch Party for a basketball game.  It was also one of the last parties that Bill and Mary would be able to attend as they are moving to the Orlando, FL area.  They are a fun couple and we have enjoyed doing things with them over the past several years.  We ill miss them.  Another reason to make a trip to Florida in the future.

On Monday we toured North Padre Island and Mustang Island with Ron and Pat.  We met them in Red Bay, AL at the Tiffen Repair Facility and convinced them that they needed to visit Texas.

They couldn’t get over the fact that you can drive on the beaches here in Texas.  After lunch we went out to the jetties at Port Aransas and were lucky enough to see a tanker coming through the pass.  I had never see that before.

Crossing over from Port Aransas to Aransas Pass we saw lots of pelicans skimming the water.

Or just floating around.  There were both grey and white pelicans to be seen.

Of course we saw our share of cormorants and sea gulls.

The sun was starting to set as we arrived at Aransas Pass after taking Ron and Pat back over to the Navel Air Station.  It was a full and fun Valentine’s Day.
