Bill / Blanche Visit - Aransas Pass, TX

Ruthi’s brother and sister-in-law (Bill and Blanche) came to South Texas looking for a RV Park to move their trailer for winter digs. Their hopes are to summer in Northern Illinois and winter in a much warmer climate. We had had fairly warm sunny weather up until their arrival. Then it got cold and rainy. As soon as they left, we’d like to say it got better but it didn’t it’s still rainy and cool.

The four of us toured a number of local sites and ate at the best area restaurants. On the ferry across to Port Aransas we saw a pair of dolphins in the bay. And, with a few cold windy walks on the beach we found a lot of seashells with which Blanche can do crafts. Unlike in Hawaii, the shells were not broken into parts. The colors, sizes, and shapes were very varied.
