Family Holiday Road Trip to Texas

The week before Christmas our family took a road trip to Texas to visit family members in Beeville, Rockport and San Antonio.  

While in Rockport, our host/hostess took me to visit the Aransas Wildlife Refuge to see the migrating whooping cranes, a nearly extinct bird that winters in this protected area every winter.  We didn’t spot any whoopers, but we enjoyed seeing other wildlife and will likely try again when in South Texas during the Winter and late Spring.  

While in San Antonio we stayed in a hotel on the Riverwalk.  It’s a truly magical place to visit during the holidays.
