Wes & I headed south- our main goals to visit cousins, Earl & Ramona Campbell in Rockport & also the Riverwalk in San Antonio- both of these things were accomplished in a very fun, relaxing way.We enjoyed the water - mostly viewing and listening. The first picture is of the USS Lexington near Corpus Christi, Texas. We took a lot of pictures inside and out. If you have facebook you can get on there and see most of them.

On this one- Wes was carry my purse so I could rest my shoulder. It had some bottled water & granola bars in if we needed a snack so was getting heavy. Nice to be married to a man not afraid to carry my purse! A woman came up to him and told him the purse didn't match his shoes- they had a good laugh on that one!
Wes trying out a bunk on the ship... my nephew, Keaton stayed on the ship as part of a school trip once- and had to sleep in them. He stated they found a few cochroaches- yuck!!!!

Wes doing some stretching to hopefully get the kink out of his back- but what a view of the gulf- this picture was on Mustang Island.
The sunset by my cousin's place was beautiful each night- I almost missed it this night. We saw 4 dophins this night in this area - just off the dock a few yards from Earl's place.
We enjoyed a wonderful time in Rockport area, as well as in San Antonio- the Riverwalk, the Market Plaza, the missions & Mexican food. Then we went to Okalahoma City to tour the National Memorial dedicate to all who lost their lives in the bombing.- Spent 3 hours there- very emotional time.. Can't imagine what it would have been & still is like for those who survived & their families & friends. Trusting the God is with us through it all is so comforting.
We stopped at both kids on the way home to catch up with them, before heading back to the reality of work(which we are blessed to have). Loving all the posts of family- loving all of you! Keep it up! -Arlys
