Saturday - March 31 - Happy Birthday Mike - Oh my goodness, our baby is 35 - scary!! Hope you had a good day.

Today we woke up to rain and no wind - figures when it is the day we are leaving. We started our trek north and drove to Port Lavaca which is between Corpus Christi and Galveston on the Gulf coast. It was a good day, we were in and out of rain all day but when we got here the rain had stopped and the sun even came out for a bit and it is much cooler than in the valley. We are staying at a municipal park which is right on the water, our front window looks out into the gulf. This area is renowned for bird watching and there is a huge marsh here with a wonderful boardwalk through the marsh which we did before getting dinner ready. We saw lots of egrets, a red winged black bird and different kinds of sea gulls but I was disappointed that we didn’t see any herons.
