A Different Port

I guess it makes sense (since we live on the coast) that there would be a lot of places around here called "ports."  A lot of ships come and go dropping off one thing or another and then picking up something or another.  Here in South Texas we have Portland, Port Aransas, the Port of Corpus Christi, Rockport, and even a bunch of port-a-potties.  But a couple of weeks ago we went up the road to another one called Port Lavaca.  Actually, we were coming back from a short trip to Victoria, just because it was somewhere else to go for a change, and we swung down through Port Lavaca on the way back.  There's really not a whole lot there, but there was a nice park along the water where you could park for $3 and enjoy a small sandy beach area, a long half-circle boardwalk, a new playground, and even a little splash park.  So we checked out all of the aforementioned things, and otherwise just enjoyed the surprisingly cool weather.  Here are a few pictures, though some are low quality due to my phone's reverse camera being... well, of poor quality. 





Looking for gators... there may be some here...


Run, Seed! Run!!


It was windy.  But then, it's always windy.  Must be a port thing.
