Tuesday February 7  The last few days have been beautiful here in Aransas Pass.  First we went to Goose Island State Park.  We found Stinky Beach, which was stinky from rotting seaweed.  Not pretty, but interesting, and the birds love it.  This state park's claim to fame, though, is Big Oak Tree.  The tree is over a thousand years old and beautiful.

Several days we have taken the ferry over to Port Aransas on Mustang Island. We have walked on the beach, collected seashells, and soaked up the sunshine.  Jax loves the beach as well.  He jumps in the waves and chases seagulls.  Today we drove several miles on the beach, hoping to find a deserted section, but no luck.

  Sometime this week we are planning to drive further down to Padre Island National Seashore.  I can get another stamp for National Parks and Sites book.  I finally got some good seafood at Redfish Willies.  Yum!
