2016 - March

Fred and Nancy visited us for a week in March.  We had a great time together.  They flew into San Antonio where we picked them up and spent a night on the River Walk, enjoying great food and sightseeing. 

We drove back to Harlingen and had 4 very busy days packed with lots of sightseeing and lots of great restaurants.

We visited the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville with a few of our Fig Tree friends along.

We spent a day on South Padre Island visiting several beaches and seeing the highlights.  Lunch at Pirates Landing in Port Isabel. 

Our next day was a visit to Progresso, Mexico.  Breakfast at Renee’s then browsing the shops with a stop for a margarita upstairs at the Red Panty Bar.  Back in Texas we drove to Willie’s Barbecue for lunch where the 4 of us split 1 very large baked potato with the works on top.  They have the biggest baked potatoes we have every seen.   

On their last day in south Texas we wandered through the Don West Flea Market with a few purchases.  Lunch was their first visit to a Whataburger, a Texas original.  We visited the Iwo Jima Memorial and Museum in Harlingen. 

We drove them back to San Antonio with plenty of time to catch their plane.  It was great to have them visit and we were blessed with wonderful weather.

We enjoyed park activities and great weather before heading back home in April.
