Sandy toes

As we crossed the bridge over the bay,

 the first thing that caught my eye was a sign 

 

ROCKPORT STRONG!

 

It was our first trip back to 

this friendly little tropical town 

since Hurricane Harvey came to visit in 2017

 

The fury of Harvey left a path of 

destruction far and wide along the Texas coast 

 

But it certainly didn't destroy the spirit 

of these coastal towns 

and they are coming back 

STRONG!!    

 

 The downtown area of Rockport

has been rebuilt and is as charming as ever

and the beach is still an amazing place to have fun

 

and the perfect beach for

my GRAND niece 

to experience sand between her toes!!

The Rockport beach has always been 

our family's happy place!! 

 

 and now it's Lelia B's happy place too!!

WE

 

ROCKPORT BEACH

and what's a trip to Rockport without 

a little side trip over to another 

amazing little beach town

PORT ARANSAS

Crossing over on the ferry 

is an experience in itself

and much to our surprise, most of the 

delightfully tacky souvenir shops

are back in business 

We stopped for dinner at the 

 

 

A popular place on the Island

and one of the first restaurants to 

re-open after the hurricane

After a delicious Italian meal

we headed for the beach!

 Surf was up and it was a great 
evening for a little beach cruisin'

 

The Texas Coast has made 

an incredible comeback

Every Little Birdie says

 that makes me as happy

as sand between my toes
