Kyle's Visit

I'm back in Port Aransas, Texas. I was in New York for ten days to get some work done at Highroller Customs. Now I'm back on the beach and enjoying my retirement! My girlfriend Kyle came out to visit for a week and we had an awesome time. I usually live off Spaghetti O's and pizza, so when she got here we decided we would have to enjoy some of Port Aransas 's famous seafood restaurants to change up our meals a little bit. Our favorite restaurants were: Castaways and Moby Dicks. If you ever get a chance to go to Port Aransas, TX I suggest you try these two places or any other great seafood restaurant in Port Aransas, TX. We also went to see Pat Green in concert with the Randy Rogers Band in Corpus Christi, TX at the Concrete Street Amphitheatre. Corpus Christi, TX is about a 45 minutes from Port Aransas, TX.

Last Wednesday we had some really high winds from the east (directly onshore winds). We even had a tornado watch for Port Aransas, TX and two funnel clouds, but they didn't touch down luckily. To make things worse there were very high tides. Needless to say in the morning when I walked out of the door of the RV I was pretty shocked. Instead of my RV being next to the Gulf of Mexico, it was in it. There were even 4-5" waves breaking underneath my RV and going another forty feet past my RV. We were forced to leave the beach because it was completely flooded and move into a nearby RV park for the day/night. Sadly, I don't have any pictures of the RV in the water because if I waited longer my tires would have sank down into the sand.

Last week was also Spring Break week in Port Aransas, TX. The beaches that were usually empty were packed with spring breakers. It was fun to watch the madness but I'm glad I have my beach back now. With the beaches packed it made it pretty hard to kiteboard.

As always be sure to check out my ads, it helps me stay in retirement.
