DAY 31 – Tue Feb 1 – Trip to Mustang Island 2011

We can’t believe it, only 25 days left before we head back to Missouri. They say “Time flies when you’re having fun”, that must be why the rest of the year goes by so slowly.

We went to Corpus Christi for supplies and to eat at iHop. JW actually decided to leave before his favorite show (In the Heat of the Night) even started, so we got away fairly early. We ate, went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart and H.E.B. Plus, then it was off to McDonalds to use their WIFI. H.E.B. stores are really big in Texas with most of them kinda like a small Wal-Mart. The H.E.B. Plus compares to a Wal-Mart Super Center. JW wanted to know what H.E.B. stood for and an H.E.B. employee told him it stands for the founders son, Howard Edward Butt. Their store signs say, “Here, Everything’s Better”. They are a good store but their prices are higher than Wal-Mart.

After returning to the Island and home, we rested for a while and prepared for the onslaught of cold winter air which is on its way to S. Texas. The Islands temperature was only to fall to the upper 20s low 30s but inland it dropped into the teens and lower up north. Around fiveish, we decided to try out a new seafood place (new to us), Fins Grill and Icehouse. Really good fresh seafood. BUT, we both decided that we think Virginia’s on the Bay is still the best so far. Only 20 to 25 more restaurants to try before we leave. Let’s see, where shall we go tomorrow . . .
