Day 16 the road back from South Padre

We left South Padre Island's Isa Blanca Park at about 8am when the office opened. The trip is about 560 miles and we made it in 12 1/2 hours mainly due to 8 stops and an extra hour on the Houston Beltway at 5pm. Driving wasn't bad at all, except for crawling 1 1/2 hours on the Houston Beltway. We had a lot of stops. The first two were for shrimp at Port Brownsville and at a fruit stand nearby for a big bag of onions, which is what is being grown in the Rio Grande valley this time of year. We have to stop every 100-125 miles for gas which accounts for all of the other stops except one for food.

Pulled in about 9 pm last night and everything is looking great. Great job Kelvin. Flowers have grown and yard is in good shape.

We'll be spending today (Friday, May 4) getting the RV & kayak unloaded and start clean up of them. Also getting ready for Windy's wedding tomorrow!

Maybe more kayaking in local lakes next week...

I missed the smell/sound/sight of the Ocean this morning when I walked outside, but it is good to be home for a while.
