The southeast coast of Texas is lined by long, narrow barrier islands. We visited both Mustang and Padre Islands. For Washingtonians, it's the equivalent of driving to the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Sand dunes, cars on the beach, tides, bonfires, tailgate picnics...it's all there and more. 
We spent two afternoons on Padre Island doing a little shopping and sightseeing, but mostly just hanging out on the beach. Glenn's favorite activity was feeding the gulls as he did as a boy. Mine was photographing the wildlife including Glenn.

Padre Island is truly special! It's ~135 miles long, and most of it is a National Sea Shore. Each time we went, we arrived too late in the day to make the longer trip into the National Sea Shore worthwhile, so we drove into the nearby (free) Nuesces County Beach Park...and had lotsa fun! Something about that rhythmic, rolling surf, that warm water, and that fine, wet sand just soaks the stress right out of a body!
I love the pictures of the beach specially glenn feeding the seagulls. It looks so relaxing and free. What an incredible time you guys had!
