Ron & Jan was there waiting for us to arrive, they have been here a week already. Jan fix us supper last night, we had hamburgers and all the fixings. Of course we had our 5 o'clock somewhere. I'm not sure what the woman have in mind for today but I'm sure it will be fun.
We went to Big Fishermen for lunch and you won't believe what we had to pay for it. Tuesday was a special of all you can eat of chicken livers or gizzards or fish or chicken fried steak for $2.25. After we left there we went to Mustang Island and drove around looking over some of the Island.

We spent over 4 hours looking around and taking in a movie call Jet Fighter (about 45 min long) and I also went into a flight simulator. After spending 4 hours there we went shopping (guess where) Wal -Mart of course.
Thursday the 26th we did not do much just kinda laid around. Lois was not feeling well cause she pickup a cold or something. We did manage to go around a look at some other camp grounds. When we got back we took a nap for a while and then its was time for Happy Hour. Charlie fix brats on grill.

While we were there we had a picnic with all the trimmings. After we left the Wildlife Refuge we went to some little town an had a Dairy Queen. When we got back to the campground we took a short nap an then it was Happy hour.
Saturday Lois & I went to Mustang Island to see a friend we met on the way down to Texas last year. Dick & Eva bought their HH at the same place we had bought ours. We seen them along the side of the road and pull over to see if they were having problems and that's how we got to know them. All four of us took the trolley around Port Aransas and had lunch there. We had been their for about 4 hours and had a good visit. After we left it was almost happy hour again back at camp. Aline & Jan fix diner at our rig, we all had shrimp and Lois & Jan had chicken cordon blue.
