Our two weeks in Port Aransas were marred by the coldest and wettest winter storm in a century in Texas. Even though it was miserable for us it was worse in other parts of Texas, Austin (the capital) shut down because of all the snow, ice and hazardous conditions. At least we didn’t have snow! [...]
Since we have plenty of time to explore the Gulf Coast of Texas we didn’t move very far. We decided to stay in Rockport about eleven miles from our previous location at Goose Island State Park. Rockport is nestled up against another small town, Fulton. Both are hard-working towns that rely on the bounty of [...]
