February 7, 2009 - Rockport, TX- Well, I cannot believe it has been so long since we updated this webpage! Time flies when you are having fun. We have just been sitting here in the Sugar Land area working for a little over a year now....was supposed to be only 3 months!! See what happens when you sit still - you grow roots and get boring!

We got up last Saturday morning and decided to take a little drive down to the coastal bend area..just on the spur of the moment. So we gathered our things and off we went to Rockport. Rockport is just a small coastal town here in Texas. It is sort of touristy in an quaint way as it is a place were a lot of "Winter Texans" come to take advantage of the mild winter weather and the good coastal breezes. It is far busier in the summer with families vacationing. It is also a place that a lot of guys come year round to fish. So it has quaint shops and some good restaurants and places to walk etc. For those of you who may not know, "Winter Texans" are our friends from the frozen north like Wisconsin, Michigan or Canada who come down to spend the winter with us and enjoy the milder climate. Unlike Florida that just calls them snow birds, we actually welcome them and dub them Texans for the time that they are here. You would not believe the number of RV parks in south part of Texas built for just this purpose. It is much too hot in the summer for anyone to enjoy so the Winter Texans get the best of it.

On the way down, we talked about how boring our life has gotten and we decided that we need to do more of this sort of thing. What good is money if you are not enjoying it so look for more updates and photos in the near future. I didn't take many pictures on this trip but believe me I will get back into the swing of picture taking as we begin to travel more around the great state of Texas! We have pictures (again not many) of our recent trip to Florida to visit friends and we are planning a trip to the Lake Chapala area of Mexico in the near future. So do check back periodically as things will be changing here again.
