Rockport Harbor It's a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what's changed is you." —F. Scott Fitzgerald Our first week back in Texas was filled with sunshine, warm temperatures, the Texas Pearl and best of all family. The wind is still blowing like crazy in Florida and the Bahamas, so we are glad we made the decision to come home and catch up with family and friends. Texas Pearl in her new permanent slip. I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me.
We had the running gear cleaned before we headed out on a short cruise.
What a beautiful winter day.

We love the view from the back deck.
I love these pictures of Rockport taken by John Martell. He's a talented local photographer who has a shop in the historic area of Rockport. (looking south)

We spent a wonderful weekend with our oldest son and his family. We had fun with Graham at the children's museum in Austin called Thinkery.
Fun at a local farmers market in Austin. The day started out a little cloudy, but cleared up quickly.
Kyle and Brytanie have enjoyed Jester King Brewery for year, but this was our first visit...now we know why they enjoy it so much. A wonderful place to enjoy the day with great beer and wonderful pizza.
Only in Texas can you spend the day at a brewery and the whole family can have fun. This is a huge sand box for the children to play in and behind it is a pasture where people can play soccer, football or fly a kite.
I'm sure it feels so good to be home with the grandkids! So many people seem to be cutting the season short or aren't even bothering to head to the Bahamas. I guess it kind of worked out that we're staying put this year given what the weather has been like. Cheers - Ellen
You definitely haven't missed much this year. I hope you get to do a little cruising this summer. We're heading up to Maine...y'all should come that way.
