Rockport!

Last weekend we took a trip down to Rockport-Fulton (near Corpus Christi) to visit Grandma and Grandpa Weller. They live in an Adult retirement camp, where everyone has either double wide trailers or mobile homes on small lots. Many have golf carts, and life is centered around a large club house. This camp is very social, and a very cool place to live. AJ had a great time, and he immediately sucked up to Grandpa, as he probably thought we were leaving him with them.George, their large cat, was not too impressed with AJ being around, and loved to smack AJ from a higher perch. AJ figured out eventually to hit George back when they were on the ground and took to taking cat toys to egg George on. We of course visited the coast and got a tour of Fulton. Grandpa has a boat and was looking forward to fishing this week. We saw some shrimpers on Saturday shifting out their catch, which turned out to be entertaining to watch. What looked like piranhas were churning near the boat, as the shrimpers were throwing fish and jellies that had drifted into their nets. We decided the churning fish may have been some sort of catfish due to their whiskers, but had never seen catfish so active before. We ate at a nice restaurant right on the water before heading out to a beautiful Catholic church in Rockport. All in all it was a very relaxing weekend. Anytime out of Waco is good, but it was great to get back into more humid climates after drying out in Central Texas. We plan on visiting down there several times this semester!
