Friday as we were doing the morning thing 'K' said "Let's go to the coast." That was not on my radar at all. I had planned on finishing up the painting of the trim on the patio. I had also discovered I needed a second coat on the ceiling. As I muddled around I checked the weather for Padre Island near Bob Hall Pier. In the 70's very light winds and mostly sunny. Perfect. So we rushed around gathering a few things, snacks, chairs, ice chest, dog, dog crate.
The beach was very clean and very smooth. As good as I have ever seen it and the water was clear for a change.
Snickers kept his distance from the scary water
A Grackle at the beach. Never have I seen one there before. He was pretty bold trying to mooch snacks.
Keeping us safe from the dangerous beach birds
This guy had a one wheel electric skate board-pretty cool
I takes us just under 4 hours to get from home to a spot on the beach. We just walk up and down the beach and sit and enjoy the beauty of God's creation for a couple hours and then head home. Can't get much more relaxing than that. But then I had to navigate through the rush hour traffic once back in S.A. The entire width, about 35 miles. It was a mess. There went the relaxation lol. Oh, and I didn't get stuck this time.
Happy Trails
