On Day 9 of our RV trip to Texas, Tom and I enjoyed our first full day on South Padre Island.
Highlights
We walked along the beach near our RV site in Isla Blanca County Park to catch sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico. Then Tom joined a local gym, Island Fitness. While Tom worked out at the gym, Wendy and I joined the free Beach Bodies workout in Isla Blanca County Park.
After our workouts, we took a quick break for lunch at our RVs then drove to the north part of the island, between Access points 5 & 6. Vehicles are allowed to drive on the beaches on this part of the island and we were happy to have our Jeep. Here we met up with other "Winter Texans", most of them from Colorado, for an afternoon of kite flying, fishing, and beach games.
We ended the day with country music and dancing at the Quarterdeck featuring Clay Underwood. We discovered Clay during our first visit to South Padre Island three years ago and have enjoyed seeing him many times since. Tom and I can't resist two-stepping to the many George Strait songs Clay plays. And, us ladies jumped up for any familiar line dances.
Challenges
Our only challenge was finding enough energy to conquer all these activities in one day. We were exhausted but enjoyed every minute of it!
