Padre Island

Talked to Margo this afternoon she sounded soo good! 
Has to stay in the hospital few more days but sure was great to talk to her.
 We made it to Mustang Island State Camp ground late this afternoon. Left San Antonio around 930. Got lost in Corpus Christi and ended  up taking the ferry over to Padre Island. Was very cool. It is a free ferry and there are 5 to7 running at all time that ferry cars to the Island. Had crab salads at Koby's a local place before heading to campsite. We are about 70 feet from the ocean behind some sand dunes. You can hear the ocean. We have taken several walks since getting here. We will be here at least 2 nights and maybe 3. There is suppose to be a storm passing through with high winds. So we will keep an eye on the weather and just go with the flow. No more time restraints. 
Observations
The speed limit in Texas is 80 so we all know what that means everyone tries to drive 90!
The blue bonnet is the Texas state flower and they are in bloom. Tried to get some pictures today but hard to do when you are driving. They are awesome. There are fields of wildflowers in bloom every where  but the bonnets are in abundance.What a awesome sight.
San Antonio has 3x worse traffic than the Bay Area. You can not go anywhere without being in bumper to bumper traffic. It is insane. Even the country roads are bumper to bumper. Yeck.!!!! 
The first picture was done by Zeb on Nathans bedroom wall
