Happy Halloween

 Today we took a trip over to Rockport, by way of Portland. Did a quick stop at a Big Lots that was closing for towels. Did the usual visit to tackle town but did not score any bargains this time. That led us to Ace hardware store. Have been told it is second largest in the country. We picked up a handful of items while there.

 The main objective of the trip was to eat at Paradise Key. We always enjoy good seafood there and today was no exception. 

Back at camp I enjoyed my third straight day of success catching white bass. Catch and release by choice, but have caught 36. Lot of fun.

Lady Lex

  Today we went to Corpus to revisit the air craft carried USS Lexington. I say revisit because we had visited many years ago. Some exhibits were familiar, others not so much. A long day of walking and going up and down stairs. We were tired by the end of the day.

 We enjoyed a late lunch/ early dinner at Van's in Mathis. A little place with good food and large portions. 

Once back at the park I enjoyed catching more white bass.

Tomorrow we plan to drive over to Rockport for lunch.

Gathering rosebuds...

Return to Mathis

 After 5 days in Edinburg, we relocated to Mathis. Lake Corpus Christi state park has become one of our go to stops. Not the best but convenient location. Nice fishing pier where I have enjoyed success and disappointment. Tomorrow I think we will visit the carrier Lexington. Have been before but years have passed.
