Today, we decided to take a look around Corpus Christi and Padre Island, Texas.

| Picnic and Paddle at the same time ? |
If you are traveling South on Hwy 361 from Aransas to Padres Island you have to take the ferry to cross Aransas Bay. The Ferry ride is free and only takes about 5 minutes. We even saw Class A's and a 38 foot Fifth Wheel on the ferry.

The wind was blowing and a little cool ( 72 degrees ) on the beach so we decided to hold off on the swimming thing.

| This dude not going in...72 nope..82 yep |
 |
| She did try..up to her knees...lol |
Padre Island is one of a chain of islands that stretches along the Atlantic and the Gulf coasts of the United States from Maine to Texas. These islands are called barrier islands because they protect the mainland from direct on-slaught of storm tides.
 |
| Texas State Park on the beach...free fishing too ! |
Padre Island National Seashore is located along the south Texas coast and protects the longest undeveloped stretch of barrier islands in the world. The national seashore embraces 70 miles of sand-and-shell beaches and seemingly endless grasslands.
