Our first trip to Texas 2012!

OMG!! Rick's new navigator worked pretty well. We made it to Texas just fine! It was a bit noisy to begin with though...then it would go into sleep mode and everything would be smoooooth sailing!

Thanks Izzy! We couldn't have done it without you! JK!!!

 

 Our amazing sunset from our deck with a glass of wine! Ahhh....what a way to end a looong trip!

 

I'm being patient but my patience tank is running low.

Only 6 hours left. YiPPee!!

 

Good Morning Texas! Crossing the Texas border at sunrise!

 

Matagorda Dunes Condos, Matagorda, Texas 

 

Walking on the beach

 View from our deck! You can see and hear the ocean over the sand dunes!

 Pool Area!

 My footsteps in the soft white sand! It's so peaceful! I'll be making many of these each day for the next month! Come join me!!

 Beautiful scenery right out in our back yard! Ok...I'm in love!

 I keep thinking if my daugher, Megan, were here I'd never get her to leave!
She loves hunting for sea shells! There's a million and one here! And they're all beautiful1!

God's Art...

Izzy's in control....

Just one more day and then a month of heaven...

I always imagined a time when Rick and I could get away from the cold for an extended period of time and be near the ocean. We're going to do it this year for the month of February. I feel quite blessed and excited about this opportunity. It comes with a lot of preparation and a bit of anxiety as we think about the long drive to Texas with 2 cats in the car! Say a prayer that we all make it in one piece! Since the condo we are staying in (#2) has room for 6 we are open to any visitors who wish to come down and get out of the cold for a bit. We plan on long walks on the beach and lots of sea food and barbecue! I've booked 2 craft shows while we are there too! Why not write off a little business expense and introduce these Texans to some Minnesota talent too?! Don't forget to call or write! Love ya all!
