Our friends Julie and Wes came to visit us and see Port Aransas for a few days this week.

We packed a lot into that visit, which started Monday and ended last night. They left early this morning before we even got up.

Since they got in Monday afternoon, we let them get settled and went for drinks and snacks to Fins and sat in the outdoor bar area so we could watch the ships, and boats in the marina.

Julie and I had to take a selfie on the way, of course, and after drinks and snacks, we took her by where the fishmongers prepare the day’s catch coming off the fishing boats. She was shocked at the trashcan full of fish heads and tails, mostly red snapper. While drinking and snacking, we saw one of the local attractions, a restored pirate ship replica that takes kiddos and their parents out for a show.

We had drinks like a spicy Mexican candy margarita, and some delicious seafood nachos. That Margarita was spicier than I anticipated and we also met a couple of fun ladies in the bar that looked like they’d had more than one of whatever they were drinking, lol!

The next day, fishing was the first thing on the agenda. Unfortunately, it started out bad as we tried three different places in search of a working computer so Julie could get her fishing license. 🙄 It was all good later when we started catching fish off the bulkhead and got to see the surfer dude doing that thing he does so well.

After fishing, we came back and got in the pool for a while and had it all to ourselves! That’s rare!
Yesterday, being it was their last day, we went to the beach, then shopped for things Julie wanted, then they took us to Cancun restaurant for a Mexican food dinner to celebrate our anniversary. What a good day it was! The beach was calm, clear and the water was clear all the way out. We saw sheepshead, mullet, and some beautiful blue fish 🐟 and I saw a pink fish that looked like an opal in color. Wes and Julie were great company at the beach, but the fish weren’t biting for Dave. We stood in schools of fish that completely ignored his lure, lol. It’s been a lot hotter, so in the water is where you want to be.

Julie is great at taking pics, one of these we were not even aware she took. Then we had to have a picture of them when we got back from dinner. We were both wearing pretty dresses. I loved hers!! Dave and I look like we were walking on eggshells 🤣😂

Dave gave me a card, and I gave him a special duck for the Jeep that’s wearing a Captain’s hat. Them after eating dinner, we got back to the Jeep and we had been “ducked” by a stranger! That’s the kind of ducking I’ve been waiting for! Now I feel like I can be part of the Duck Duck Jeep group on Facebook, lol!

Now my oldest son Sean is here in a big house with friends, so we went and found him on the beach in their designated spot. We weren’t dressed for the beach, so we just visited for a few minutes and net all his friends. They will be partying there all night I’m sure! Hopefully, we can all be together hanging out one of the days he’s here. He is staying through Tuesday. When he leaves, friends Kerry and Michelle will be arriving. It’s so much more fun with friends and family, and friends that are like family visiting! ☺️
