Pictures Taken Prior to Corpus Christi Arrival

After arriving here in Port Aransas, TX. we were finally able to download some pictures off Roberta’s phone.  For the past several months we haven’t been able to moved pictures from her phone to my computer for some reason.   Once she got a new phone Verizon helped us retrieve her pictures and Bruce was able to put them on our blog.  Really good pictures of our travels the past few months.   Enjoy…..

We will be in Port Aransas, TX. through January 9^th.  Bruce is going in to see an orthopedic surgeon on November 17^th to schedule surgery for a hip replacement.  His mobility has really been limited over the past several months to just short walks, no kayaking, no hiking, and no biking, pretty much nothing.  He’s in quite a bit of pain much of the time.  We’re hoping he will get his new hip in November and then 6 weeks of physical therapy.  We’ll know on November 17^th when surgery will be.  After surgery, Bruce will recover by following the physical therapist’s instructions and sitting on the beach with his fishing pole in hand. 

The weather is pretty warm and humid for November.  Locals say it should be cooling down soon.  We’re enjoying the warm weather.

Bruce restored this old phone his mom
gave to Jennifer this summer. 

Restored phone.  Turned out real nice.

We clean up pretty good when we have to.

You can see my shadow on the bridge to.  Right....

Roberta found this nice rock to relax on during a visit to Aztec, NM.

Climbing down a cliff to get back to our truck.
What we do to go find a new arch.

The arch.

Bruce thinks he can move the arch.  Nice try honey...

Roberta found a little relief from the sun in this little enclave.

Another arch we found during our hike.

This was the smallest arch we hiked to.

Big enough for Bruce to stick his head in for a neat picture.

Bruce wanted so much to investigate this cave.
Just too high and his hip kept him grounded

A beautiful sunset from Sand Hallow State Park in Utah.

Beautiful scenery from Utah.

Another beautiful site from Utah.

Attended the St. George Temple with these two beautiful ladies.

Utah has so many wonderful places to see.

Having a great time traveling.

The mountains here in Utah are beautiful.

We love having Roberta's sister Susan traveling with us.

No, we are not taking this rock with us.

"Who's older??????"  I'll let you guess.

Sister love.  Bestes of friends.

Roberta and her sister Susan hiked Zion National Park for a couple days.
Bruce stayed back at the motorhome with a bum hip.

Hiking the "Narrows" in Zion.

Had a great couple days hiking Zion National Park.

Watched the weather forecast closely before hiking the Narrows.

They're having too much fun for sisters.

Cooling off as we hike behind this waterfall.

Another great hike up a different canyon in Zion.
Loved having you with us Susan.  Till next time....
