“Sand Everywhere “ I am belly laughing “memories “
Sadie has an awesome dog life. She’s lucky you adopted her.
Or Sadie adopted Carolyn. 😃
Sadie looks really intelligent she seems to wanna be the tourist instead of hearing about it and when she did the little handshake trip she was looking at Caroline like really I’m capable of so much more please can we do more? Just look at her facial expressions and the sound she makes.
@@DuvAngel1. It’s like you can see her brain working as she looks out the window….she is one smart cookie🍪.
I live here in Corpus Christi I would never ever camp down that far on the beach by myself but I'm glad you had a safe time a beautiful time
Very dangerous. That couple that was murdered a few years ago.
Agreed. Not safe at all.
I lived in Texas for over 22 years and never went to Padre Island. Though I knew many who did. Now I understand what the draw was. Thank you Carolyn. Love the everyday living footage interspersed with beautiful scenery and conversations. Very enjoyable.
Hello from El Paso Texas. I am a native Texan and love Corpus and Padre. El Paso is in the beautiful desert. I say this because I know you understand the beauty and serenity of the desert.
I camp free up along the entire Texas Gulf coast all winter long. If you’re ever in Texas again you don’t have to go all the way down to Padre. Check out Brazoria County Beach, Follets Island Beach, Crystal Beach, and Quintana Beach. Miles and Miles and MILES of free beach camping. I just move every 14 days and rotate thru all the public beach from Matagorda to Bolivar Penisula (Crystal Beach area).
My parents went to Padre Island every year for 6 months , from Michigan , He died down there in the hospital . I couldn't go see him in the ICU cuz Michigan had a blizzard 17inches of snow ..No lights to Padre Island only to Houston $900 one way ..I did get to talk with on the phone and pray for him the day before he died. But so far seeing the drive it looks beautiful . I would have loved the drive . I love oceans...
❤❤❤ As a Texan who used to work in South Texas and take care of the visitors from the Midwest. I hope your father was cared for with love and concern just as I would have cared for him as I am a retired RN who cared for cardiac patients.
Sorry for your loss .
Wow really did not realize how intense making a video is
Went with my mom 1x before I had kids it was fun
Been their camping with my kids had lots of fun
Carolyn, it would really be worth your while to drive 2 hours south to South Padre Island, Texas as the beach is absolutely the best and cleanest beach in Texas!!
I agree.
The editing part was fascinating. I am hoping to get my son, 23, with autism, to go on the road with me in a few years. He is pretty tech savvy and would love to have him perfect his skills on the road. He is also a "savant" when it comes to geography and capitals and geography of countries. I just think him having a way to express himself on you tube would be great. Any video help is awesome so I can show him what he can do. Thank you
This is what we want to do with our special needs 15 yr old son. Also looking at wwoofing with him. Good way to learn life skills and working skills and still be with him.
I am also autistic, as is my middle son. My 2 boys did WELL on road trips, and we all fell in love with Padre. 😊
The sounds of the ocean, and the action of the waves, is so rejuvenating ❤😊
We were there last June and loved it. We stayed in a county park for $15 a night. It had electric and water hookups. Padres Island was one of our stops out to Yellowstone. We made a 8300 mile circle from Myrtle Beach, SC. It took 74 days. We were in a van. Loved it! Thanks for sharing your adventure at Padres Island.
I was born in corpus Christi and it was good seeing the beautiful beach and loved the sound of the waves 👍😁
Carolyn, I love your Channel. I've been watching since 2018. I grew up in TX. Went to Padre many times. Yes, James and Michelle Butler were killed in 2019. Also, I had two high school friends who were musicians, he played guitar and she sang. A few weeks after they sang at my wedding in July of 1974 they were camping on the north shore of Padre. He was murdered, and she was kidnapped, put in the trunk of her car for several days while the killer drove her north. I think she started sending SOS signal by shorting out the tail lights of the car. She was saved and the perpetrator arrested in Denton TX. There is no way I would camp there, ever... I took my Girl Scout troop there in the 80s. Of course some were stung by jelly fish. It that happens, make a paste of meat tenderizer with water, and put it on the wound. It neutralizes the venom. It worked for my girls.
Also, the reason why there are so many police officers is to keep watch out for illegals, and drug transportation from Mexico. If you get a chance stop in at Lockhart TX and have some TX BBQ (cooked in smokers over 100 years old), Blacks BBQ and Kreuz (Pronounced "Kritz). German settlers form the late 1800s settled there and brought their sausage recipe with them. I have not found any "Texas sausage" like it anywhere out of the state of TX. Its something to try at least once. Lockhart's town square has been in many movies. My grandfather was a barber there on the town square from the early 1930s to 1970. Thanks for posting all your great travels! I really have enjoyed them.
How phenomenal that your friend thought of shorting out the brake lights to signal SOS. The sausage sounds good. If I ever go to that area of Texas, I'll check it out. Although, Texas is not top of my list since I live at the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. 😏
We love "Pa-lash-ous" Palacios. Hubby grew up near there. We are in Corpus. Very pretty beaches but its really hot here. The island is fun the go camping. ❤
Hi. You look beautiful and happy as ever. I enjoyed this episode very much. I appreciate how much effort and imagination you put into entertaining us and inspiring us.
Your videos are so relaxing to watch after a stressful day of work thank you for posting them :)
Thank goodness for the $1000 fine for littering. It's beautiful, safe, and clean. Gotta love Texas ❤
Boy editing is a ton of work. This made me appreciate your efforts even more
Your video of the ocean (bay) was perfect. I love salt water,and your video made me feel as though I could smell the salt air if I took a deep breath ❣️
❤ I so loved this video. I woke up in the middle of the night and wow I needed this. Thank you so much. Sadie is just wow. The best. She's such a great companion. Happy trails.
Padre Island is a beautiful place. I was out in the water & saw a guy on the beach looking out at the water where I was. I looked behind me and there was several dolphins swimming by me. ♥️😍
Love me some Padre! Love all the rest of my Lone Star State, too! Thx for sharing! ❤😊
I love your dog and I love when you interact with her…she’s a sweet!
Thank you Caroline. I really enjoyed this video in the wee hours Mon. a.m. I like the snippets of all you see/do. And esp the Gulf water sounds.
I actually feel similar about beaches. I’m honestly not a fan. I keep thinking how nice it looks, and then yeah, I go a tad bonkers with everything containing sand literally all through my car. I live in Florida and friends will obsess over beach time, yet I just don’t get into it. Great video as always! My dog, unlike me, would love roaming around that beach where you were.
Nice video Carolyn. Camping on the beach sounds absolutely perfect. Watching your editing process was interesting… lots of work. Enjoy Texas:)
I camped on the beach west of Galveston and loved it. We all have our favorite places.
Thank you, Carolyn, I have not been to the USA before and I'm so glad I found you and I get to go on your adventure with you my friend 😊thanks it's so beautiful there🥰thank for sharing stay safe
You can touch and even grab the topside of that jellyfish. The stinging tentacles dangle from the underside when in the water. Totally LOVED your drive over the Harbor Bridge and then heading to the island over the Kennedy Causeway. Been over that at least a thousand times. Glad you enjoyed it and as in just about any place you go, be aware and vigilant. While in Texas, you absolutely MUST check out Big Bend NP and see the Marfa lights in Marfa, TX. Also a phenomenal observatory in West Texas called the McDonald Observatory. There’s so much in Texas!!
Oh wow, good to know. Thank you so much Rachel. Yes, it was a great trip.
Great video!
Love Sadie watching the sunrise out the RV window…So cute!
Pretty beach!
Was that a coyote peaking over the sand dune??
Thanks for sharing Padra island beautiful. Looks so relaxing. Love it.
That sandwich looks amazing, I enjoyed the editing info and I would love to camp on that beach for weeks! Thanks Carolyn!
Hi Carolyn, You are so smooth in the way you share your videos, it’s like we are in the RV with you. Another great trip to enjoy! I’m traveling in my in my own chair. Good blessing’s to you and Sadie
A true eye for video, love your content. When you was down in cajun country, you was only a couple of miles from our favorite boondocking place. Thanks Pop & Capt Dee
Good evening Carolyn. You always seem to pick the most perfect music for your videos. Love it!!!!😊
Never bored with your video s I enjoy the walk on the beach . Is been cold and wendy in the Mojave desert. Stay warm 💗🙏
Not a big Texas fan but I do love me some Padre Island! What a wonderful stop, thanks for sharing!!
Loved this video, it's great to see the Beautiful places you find to overnight. Glad you're doing some history content again love listening to it and seeing the historical places you show.
I love the sound of the waves!! Thank you for this video♡
It’s like Sadie was saying “I have to help my jelly friend! He’s stuck on the beach!” She’s so cute
Awe! You were in my neck of the woods! So glad you got to experience the beach at Padre Island. I love the beach too but can only take a day of it. Love your videos.
Welcome to Texas ..Great video Carolyn.Safe travels.
I used to go to south padre island all the time when my grandparents lived in Brownsville Texas. It was a short drive thru the speed traps to the island from there. It is one of my favorite beaches. It's really nice away from the hotel areas. You can walk for miles on the beach. Thanks for sharing, it brought back beach memories from when I was there.
Beautiful. I love the information you give on these types of video. Very enjoyable. Greetings from England xx
I agree with the ocean being loud. It’s so beautiful, yet to me it’s loud. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you
What a gorgeous SUNSET for you and Sadie at Padre!!
This video brought back a lot of good memories. I lived in Corpus for 10 years. Thanks 😊
Like the beach and camping on the sand. Like the desert with it’s tough beauty. My soul loves the mountains most of all. Jeffrey pines with their fragrance. When you stay @ a cracker barrel you try to convince yourself the traffic noise is the ocean.
I enjoyed your video creation section….such a lot of work to create a video. Thanks for doing that
My sister goes to Alamo Texas every year to escape the winter and her and her husband and friends go to Padre Island all the time She says it’s beautiful there. Enjoy Carolyn.
My youngest son was born in Padre Island. I lived there and loved it, but God gave us obstacles, and I returned to West Texas. That was forty-three years ago, and I'm sure it has changed a lot; my husband worked the rigs, so all the wives became good friends; we went to South Padre almost daily. Wash up your RV well when you leave the area; it will turn your RV into a rust bucket. They had drive-through sprayers that sprayed off the undercarriage of our cars on the way back to Town.
I love the shore and the sound of the ocean, walking through the water and how healthy the grounding is. I miss it so much.
I love it when you’re talking with Sadie and I look at her eyes and make up her return conversation in my head. :-)
Great, enjoyable video! 12 degrees below zero here in Illinois today!
Looks beautiful there!! The sound of the surf must be relaxing!!
There you go again. Going places i can only dream about. Thank you for this video.❤😊
My pleasure 😊
We are moving to Houston this summer. Will be living with my son. I cant wait to travel around Texas and see everything.
Wow, Carolyn- that shot of the pilings leading out to sea - really special ❤
I had no idea this was this much work to put together a video! Thank you so much for sharing this! Your videos are not boring! Keep up the good work!
Love that slow mo beach shot
Love all your content❤ Padre Island is on my bucket list 😊
G'day Carolyn great to see you again on here. Warm greetings from Australia.
You're happy and focused in this video! 🎉
Good to see Texas thru your eyes. 😊 TY
Love these longer videos!!! Beautiful spot!!! But can definitely understand the dampness and humidity !!
Thanks, Carolyn and Sadie. I stayed at the Luther Hotel back in the 80's in Palacios. They were re-furbishing the rooms at the time. It was pretty neat, but felt a little "haunting." They had a huge kitchen and local people come for the breakfast buffet. Enjoyed the video!
Great spot again wow the sounds of waves will put you to sleep. Love it
That dog on the dunes when Sadie was growling, seemed more like a coyote.
It was. Hope Sadie is extra careful out there.
Great video Carolyn! Sadie had a great time !😍I was thinking that too, the ocean sound got irritating after awhile?! 😊
Sadie has beautiful feet in the sand. Such a pretty dog. I really enjoyed this video. It's interesting to see the editing process. And the ears!
Disappearing bird? 19:47 This beach is gorgeous!
I'm an Ocean beach lover, a part of my soul it seems... Loved this video, found it very relaxing.and googled it, coyotes on Padre Island yes, indeed! Learn something new everyday, thanks, Carolyn!
Nice to see you out and about in the sun again Carolyn enjoy~ but it's - 2 in BC or - 50 in some parts, so enjoy the sun while you have it.
I loved camping on padre island, directly on the beach,14 day stays in each spot.
Loved this one!! Lived in Corpus for years, so I knew exactly where you were!
Thank you for sharing this! ❤
Lovely place! I’m always happy when I’m on the water! 😊
New subscriber here from Wisconsin 😀I absolutely love your channel. I appreciate the history behind the places you visit. During Christmas 2022 I was in the hospital with heart issues. For the next month I was on a lot of restrictions and that is when I found people like you who gave me a chance to see parts of the country that I only have dreamed of. Seeing the country through your lense is incredible very calming and peaceful. I love water! There is something about water and how it soothes the soul. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
@CarolynsRVLife I’ve been a subscriber, and I have watched you since the beginning of your channel, a Hartfield thank you, and sincere appreciation where is your candor in all your adventures. It’s awesome seeing you laugh it’s so genuine and it’s wonderful that you’re having new experiences. I admire you❤
What a fun video! Be happy, be free (youre already kind).What a view of the Gulf....
Fantastic video Carolyn... surprisingly, I saw my name come up while you were scrolling the comments before editing. What a gorgeous spot to boondock! I don't blame you for trying to catch up on videos. It's obviously A LOT of work. When do you get to completely relax and get a break? I appreciate all of your hard work and wonderful videos. Safe travels...hope you have a great time in Arizona.👍😊 By the way, are you still gluten free? Everything you cook looks outstanding.
❤Thank you for Sharing ❤ It's been a very very long time since I have visited there at the beach. 😊
Great video! Beautiful area!
Thanks for sharing a day in the life. I just love watching Sadie play with her toys in background.
What a gorgeous spot!
I'm in Quartzsite now but planning on going to Corpus Christi April to see friends. I'll have to check out Padre Island while I'm there.
Thanks for showing this.
Really have enjoyed ooo Yed your site! Thank you for sharing your journey!
WOW!!!! Beautiful to be on the beach 🏖️
This video is so informative about building videos. It's much more complicated than I imagined! And, you seem so happy on the island. Thank you Carolyn!
I was in Padra in 2009 and loved it but we were in a very tiny but fun motel on the beach. But you are right it get kinda redundant(I think this is the right term) after a few days unless your there to be a tourist and shop as there really isn't much sightseeing. We did go to the turtle wildlife and rescue and that was fun and educational center. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful shots and telling about the little town. Blessings!
Love your colorful kitchen
Now let's not forget that it's Relaxing. How funny Carolyn!
I spent months on the beach near Galveston. I loved it! Probably because I love to swim in the Gulf. Swimming several times a day makes you feel fresh even in the humidity. I did take have the beach with me when I left though. I just gave up on keeping sand out of the RV. My dog Buddy has a fluffy coat and carried it in 😂. Swept it out later. ❤
I love that part of the Gulf Coast. Coyote was cool. I see them often up here north of Houston. Have a great day. Safe travels.
Love it! Safe travels!
P.S. I love Whole Foods!
I love RV camping on Padre!
I spent every of my summer on the Chesapeake Bay been stung by sea nettles many times. It really stings. One way to get rid of the pain is Adolph’s meat tenderizer! Not something you’d have on hand but it works😆. Have only been through the top of Texas on my way to New Mexico over 20 yrs ago. Looks beautiful.
Your videos have been kind of long but I break them up into a couple of days to get through but I still watch them.👍
I know we're all different...I love the longer videos! 🥰
Me too. I just hate the fact that I have too many intrusions.
I thought that was me on your thumbnail and so did my family!! We could be twins!!
I gotta say, I loved your "real" opinions. Good or bad, you're real...that's what i love about you! ❤
Ha ha! We get to enjoy the beach and visiting with you! Minus the sand, noise and humidity! I visit family in Charleston SC and find beach picnics with real sand sandwiches not so great! Keep on being “on the road again”
