I can't remember the date line of everything we did..........but we did make a trip to South Padre Island. We lucked out as the spring break kids had not arrived and it was not crowed at all. After checking out the visitors center we took off for the beach. All had a good time walking on beach, getting feet wet in gulf as well as picking up small sea shells. We then drove on up the highway a ways then back with a stop at the turtle rescue place. Roger and I had been there earlier so we sat in car and let Larry and Sharon go check it out. Now it is lunch time so Larry wanted to see how "Church's Chicken" was..............so that is what we had. I was all for something different, but his was their vacation and we aim to please. Our next stop was the gift shop. Had a good time roaming around inside and out and taking pictures.

Larry had a guy he worked with in Mason City, Iowa that is also staying here in Mission, so they spent some time with them as well. Mike and his wife are at Hidden Valley Resort. We also got to visit the Riverside Club as well as Pepe's. It was cold and rainy when we went to Pepe's and we were in the teekee (sp) hut and it was cold out there. I thought the food was better at the Riverside and better priced. We went on a Wednesday and that was tenderloin special day......so that is what we had...........very good. We will return there. After our tenderloin lunch we drove up to the only had drawn ferry left in the USA. We didn't go across on it as they were very busy but we got to watch it. Maybe someday we will make the crossing. It crosses the Rio Grande River and cost 50 cents to go from US to Mexico and 75 cents to get back.
Our other adventures included shopping and eating.........and Sharon fixed a great steak dinner for us here at our place in Bensten Grove. Thanks Sharon, I really think it was the best meal of all. She also fixed us home made Spaghetti with meat balls..........very good.
They left this morning and it is now time for Roger and I to start getting ready for our departure which will be in a few weeks. Not sure of the date yet, but it will be around Good Friday sometime. We are headed for Albuquerque, NM for "The Rally" (RV rally) Looking forward to that.......I think Roger is ready to head out. Till later..........drive safe and Happy Trails.
