After breakfast, but before lunch Denice I take a little tour downtown to pick up a couple of things that Denice had wanted from the Maritime museum. Also wanted to see the Tri-angle Gardens that has a Labyrinth, if you know what that is. I guess it’s a place to walk around in circles on a path and meditate. I need some of that!!
Then we went to Zachary Taylor Park. This is where he stopped and camped when he was a general, and there is a huge Oak Tree there and a park named for him.
By now it was past lunch time and we did not want any more fish, so we went to Mac's Bar-B-Que Pit, and had Bar-B-Qued Briskit for $6.99 each. Very Good. From there we headed to Goose Island State Park. On the way stopped off at the old historic Lamar Cemetary. Lots of old graves prior to 1800's.
Then to the State Park. Registration for free for a 20 minute drive through permit, But old "Honesty Herself" said we will need more time than that, so now it cost me $6.00 each. But it was worth it, as we spent about 2 hours there. They have a bird feeding station, so we spent a fair amount of time there taking bird pictures, and then went out onto to the Bay Loop.
Here is RV parking right on the beach. I mean 10 feet from the water. I would like that, but it would be windy!!
There is lots of parking sites in the Old Oak forest close by though. Total, I believe, of about 200 sites. Registration tell me that their rate is $16/night in the trees, $20/night on the beach. No limit on time as long as they have room. From November through February is their busy time with reservations recommended, but not necessarily required. There is also a fishing Pier called Pelican Bay. The pelicans are extremely tame waiting for some fish remains for dinner.
Returned home and picked up Brenda and John and went to A's Chinese Buffet for supper. Must have been over a hundred different dishes to choose from, many unknown to me. Certainly too many to try each, but it was good, for only $10.00 each.
