Fourth of July Memories

We had a great day...beginning with the usual run in the morning, followed by a leisurely walk along the Bayfront in Corpus with JP:
White egret beach combing along the bay.


The harbor downtown - lots of sailboats here for the holiday weekend.


One of the research vessels from my university - no one out working today!


The day would not be complete without seeing brown pelicans in the bay!


The White Rose - part of the Selina memorial along Ocean Drive.


You can see a replica of one of Christopher Columbus' ships in the harbor.


Or if you prefer something considerably larger, the USS Lexington is docked and you can take a tour - it's really something. This is where the fireworks show is held every year.



Back at home, Annie, Jason and Audrey joined JP and me for some grilled chicken, steaks, all the trimmings and of course - the annual red, white and blue cake!

  2. Hey, I see that longhorn magnet on the fridge. I'm turning you into the school unless you send me some of that cake.
