Friday was a bit overcast with drizzle, so we headed to the Outlet Mall for some quick shopping. As usual, there were deals to be had – so everyone came away with some new clothes. We headed back to Fun N Sun for the Canadian Club’s monthly dinner. The feature was a spaghetti dinner complete with garlic bread, salads and dessert.
Paul won $117.00 on the 50/50 draw – and Jane won a $25 Applebee’s gift certificate. What a stroke of luck!!
Saturday was a beautiful sunny day. We decided to stay at resort and hang out at the pool. We all enjoyed swimming in the sunshine – especially Jenn.
La Playa Mexican Restaurant was our dinner choice complete with Happy Hour margaritas and Mexican beer
Sunday morning we headed off to the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan Del Valle. We truly enjoy the mariachi band that plays at the 9:00 service. Breakfast was enjoyed by all at a local Mexican eatery. Paul & Jenn had their ‘divorced eggs’ while Jane had Mexican eggs..
Breakfast was followed by a quick trip to the Don Wes flea market – to visit the bathing suit lady (who remembered Jenn from previous years!).
Sunday night’s “Ice cream social”
was followed by the Coins – a husband and wife musical duo.
Monday afternoon after exercise classes, we headed to South Padre Island. We were pleased to find that there wasn’t much wind so we walked along the beach and picked up shells.
We went to Boomerang Billy’s Beach Bar for a before dinner beer and then headed to the Shrimp Haus for “all you can eat shrimp”.
Fortunately Jenn’s Tuesday afternoon flight was on time leaving Harlingen so she made her connection in Houston for the flight home. Again it was a short visit but we packed lots into it.
