We have been vacationing and wintering in Rockport TX. on the Gulf of Mexico.  Rockport is a small fishing town near Corpus Christie.  It is also across from North Padre Island at Port Aransas. We usually take a ferry to get there. This whole area is just beautiful and the weather is pretty nice most of the time.  It is about a six hour drive from our home in DFW.  Last winter we went to Florida but I think we are enjoying our time here even more than Florida.  The only draw back from not being in Florida is we have many friends and family there.  I will be posting more pictures of our vacation soon.
