February was rounded out with a visit one evening to the
boardwalk in Houston during the Mardi Gras celebration. We ate at Joe’s Crab Shack and then walked
along the boardwalk and tried to nap some beads thrown from boats that were
cruising. That is probably the closest
we will ever get to the real Mardi Gras!
It was fun without the massive crowds in New Orleans.
Another day, Pat and I drove with the two pups to Brazoria
National Wildlife Refuge. Based on the
Internet information, we thought we would see lots of birds wintering in the
area. Unfortunately, the birds were not
present and the best thing we saw was an alligator getting some sun on an
island along the Big Slough Trail. We
followed the Auto tour but were really disappointed that birds were not in
great evidence.
Towards the end of the month, Houston’s big rodeo takes
place. We didn’t go to it but we did see
some participants who rode houses and pulled wagons on the way to the
arena. A couple of groups camped at the
county park next to our campground and we were able to see them leave in a
parade. I would have liked to have seen
some of the rodeo but time didn’t allow for it as we had to move at the same
time.
We are still having a good time with our slow paced life!
EASY LIVING!!
