On Saturday, we got up and drove to DuPont Park in Ingleside, Texas for Joe's 25th high school reunion. Joe has been told he is the 5th generation to graduate from Mathis High School. Joe grew up just a few houses down the street from the high school and would walk home in the afternoons. At the reunion, some people didn't recognize him because he no longer wears glasses, he has less hair and ... he was one of the only people who has lost weight since high school. He looks so great! He had a good time visiting with friends many of whom he hadn't seen since graduation.
We took the "scenic" route on the way home passing through Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, Rockport and Bay City. Not really that scenic except that Rockport looks like it might be somewhere to visit for a weekend. I was struck by massive amounts of wind turbines just right there in the middle of one of the nowheresville towns. It almost looked like a sci-fi movie!

Middle of nowhere Texas
Beautiful cotton fields along the highway
