Pioneer Park - Port Aransas, TX

This is a great park, with LOTS of activities! They even serve breakfast and lunch on the weekends! Our first week here we had some great cinnamon rolls from their kitchen and Steve attended a Super Bowl Party. We participated in a chili dinner, burger night, ice cream social night, a Valentines day dinner/dance (lots of fun), and soup night.

We saw a notice about a Nebraska group coffee get together in town, so we went and me some great folks who are travelers and some who live here full time. We also attended the Nebraska State Day dinner with 100 other people from Nebraska.

We also went from 70 degree weather, to an ice storm that left us locked in until afternoon! Oh, shades of the midwest!!!

We signed up at the community center for a bus ride to San Antonio to see the rodeo and Reba. We had to stop at the petting zoo for Cathy, and then saw a great rodeo and even better show!

We enjoyed meeting some new people, including John Dayton and Ann Coster, Sheri and Dave Furry, Kathryn and Page, just to name a few. Found out that John and Ann also know Paul and Mary, our friends from the KC park.

We have done a lot of fun things while we have been here:

* Visiting the USS Lexington aircraft carrier museum...

* Hearing the USAF Concert Band of the West...

* Visiting the TX State Aquarium...

* Visiting the Texas Museum of Science and History...

They have the replicas of the Pinta and Nina here that we got to tour.

* Going on a Dolphin Watch/Nature Boat ride...

* Going to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge with John and Ann during the Whooping Crane Festival...

* Enjoying the community playhouse presentation of "A Tuna Christmas". This play is about the people of Tuna, TX as they prepare for the Christmas light festival, and only has two actors playing all the parts. If you ever have a chance to see this play, or the previous play "Tuna, Texas", you must go, as it is a HOOT!!!!!

On to Willis, TX on Lake Conroe!
