Port Aransas - Wintering Grounds

Ahhh!  The warmth!  Such a relief to arrive down here near Corpus Christi and to be greeted by temps in the mid 80s -- even worked up a bit of a sweat getting the RV hooked up and its "wings" spread (so to speak).  Had to get out of my jeans and get shorts on and go barefoot -- until I hit that first sticker in the grasss.

Those first couple beers were tasty and went down quickly as I settled in and the twins emerged to see where we now were.  Windows open and a slight breeze greeted us with Tiger as usual begging/crying to get out to check things out.  I delayed his first outing as I wanted to see what the walk to the beach was like -- with the boardwalk over the dunes.  It was too overcast and grey for the first beach pictures and will take those first beach pics sometime today when I drive the Jeep onto the beach and head for a jetty to fish from -- the walk to the beach seemed too long for hauling all my fishing gear.

Later, after I pulled most things out of the Jeep and out from under the RV, I got Tiger out to get his first look around before I fired up the grille and cooked some of the last few Blues from Amelia Island.  Tiger wanted to stay out with me but, I decided to get him inside and discovered he also had picked up some of those nasty stickers while lying in the grass -- good thing I got them out using my fingers, otherwise he might have gotten one of those things in his mouth (not something he would have liked at all -- as he did once while we were in Navarre).

Tiger got his share of the fish and we all settled in for the first night without having to turn on any heat of any sort (with the windows closed, of course).  Awoke the next morning with the temps still in the mid 70s inside the RV -- very nice.
