Friday – on the road again
We left San Antonio at 10:30 and drove 182 miles to Mustang Island State Park. It's just north of Padre Island, east of Corpus Christi. We’re parked about 100 yards from the Gulf of Mexico.
We spent the afternoon getting settled and filling a prescription for Carol. It’s confirmed … she has shingles and it’s pretty painful. We’re going to stay put here for a few extra days to see if her condition will improve.

Saturday –
We walked along the shore and then drove a few miles on the beach. We saw some debris from the hurricane.

We drove to Port Aransas (11 miles north of the park) and took the free ferry to Aransas Pass. Got gas at $2.099 per gallon and celebrated with lunch at DQ ... obviously blowing any savings we gained from the gas price. We saw about a dozen dolphins on the return ferry trip. Pretty cool!
We spent the afternoon watching the Texas/Oklahoma State game as a warm-up for the OSU/Penn State game.
We went to the beach to watch the sunset, fixed dinner and then watched as the Buckeyes almost defeated the Nittany Lions … almost.
