We travelled down to Victoria, Texas where we stayed at Gateway to the Gulf RV Park. The scenery during the drive was beautiful.

| Route 77 - Thoughts of Andy Murray |
As we were on Route 77, I thought of Andy Murray who has just named his new management company and book "77" after his Wimbledon win on 7/7, and it was 77 years since the last British man had won Wimbledon.
Everything was uneventful, even the roadworks, until we arrived where the GPS was taking us and there was no sign of the park. We found out that the GPS had taken us 25 miles further than we needed to go!!! We called the park and they gave us directions from where we were. We eventually arrived there a little later than we anticipated.

We set out for NAS Kingsville RV park about 10:30am arrived about 12:45pm. John, our son-in-law, arrived as we were setting up to say Hi on his way back to work. We arranged for Brenda to call by after she picked up Aimee from school and we had a quick visit before she took Bryan to pick up Lee Anne. They came back and visited with us for a short while before leaving. We spent a quiet evening recovering from our drive.

We got caught up on chores and shopping before heading over to visit with Brenda. She went to get the girls and we finished up our shopping. We had intended to go back to visit but neither of us felt that good so we went home. It seems to take us a while to acclimatize to the different areas. Bryan rested in his chair and I had a nap for a couple of hours. I haven't done that for a while!!! We went to bed at 10pm, which is early for us as we want to go to Aimee's soccer game in the morning and it starts at 9am. Unfortunately, we both had trouble sleeping.....

We got up, got ready and went to watch Aimee play soccer. It was fun watching the kids as it is something we miss now that Ryan has grown up and left home.

After soccer, Aimee had girl scouts and we went home before going over for a BBQ later in the afternoon. We fell asleep, don't know what the matter is with us!!! We eventually arrived for the BBQ and had fun eating fajitas (Thanks John), potato salad (Thanks Brenda) and drinking beer and margarita's. Met some good people and chatted into the evening. We had a great time with everyone and are looking forward to the fashion show tomorrow.

We went to the Coastal Bend Fashion Showcase in Corpus Christi today. This is a fashion show that showcases local designers and this year was benefiting "Making Strides against Breast Cancer". Lee Anne and Aimee were modelling for Sugar Pie Children's Boutique and they were great.

After the fashion show we went for dinner at the Island Italian Restaurant on Padre Island. On the way there John took us on the scenic drive along Ocean Boulevard. We saw the "Selena" statue, built for a famous singer who was murdered. Click Here to see a picture and read more about her.

We had such fun seeing them showing off the dresses on the catwalk and they did extremely well as they had a long wait before it was their turn to go on. Their designer was the last one out of ten to show.

Well today is, our youngest, Ryan's 21st birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ryan. We love you. :)
We called him last night to wish him Happy Birthday as his ship is due to sail out today and so he will have to wait until he returns to officially celebrate this big birthday. BE SAFE RYAN......
