      Agree. After I shot that clip, I took in the sand sculpture a little more and came to the same conclusion. Thanks for watching! Lou

    We live in Texas (more central) and Port Aransas is our favorite! If you ever needed to rent an RV spot we highly recommend Pioneer RV Resort! They have a private boardwalk to the beach and the people there have always been amazing!

    Very cool beach for sure! So wide too, and nice hard packed sand! That Parrot was really cool ! I wonder if he could talk? I knew a lady who used to have one just like that one. His name was.....Polly. lol Looks like you had free range of where you wanted to set up your site, and how much you wanted to use. Showers were nice, and porta potties, ok. What did they have out on the pier? Bathrooms, snack bar? Yeah, the sand sculpture was for sure a Hermit Crab. We have had about 6 of them when the kids were small. Great video, enjoyed watching it !! Thanks, vicky

    Okay so I have to be honest: we were out there for a family weekend at a beachhouse (you passed it on the way to the site you camped at), and my husband and I saw folks RVing on the beach. We just thought that would be miserable because it's soooooo hot (we're from Texas, so we're used to it), and the thought of tracking that sand into the RV seems awful.
    How was that? We adore the sound of the ocean, and your video looks absolutely lovely.
    Perhaps we could do it before the hot weather hits. Maybe we'll give it a go next spring.
    Let me know your thoughts.
    I'm inspired. 🙂

    • @LivingOurDreamNow
      @LivingOurDreamNow  3 роки тому +1

      RVing smart means traveling with the weather (a blessing in retirement). I believe we visited Aransas Beach late in January. Short stays along the beach are okay, but beware of the salt and cover all exposed metal surfaces to minimize rust. We will camp somewhere out of the way of the salt spray if we want to stay more than a day or two at the beach. For example, Assateague Island in Maryland offers both ocean and bayside camping. The bayside gets little salt overspray.
