Boca Chica Beach

The girls (Barb on the left, Pat in the Middle, and Judith on the right) and yours truely on my scooter. We were having another wonderful day at the beach, one of many.
After leaving Pigeon Forge, TN, we traveled to Brownsville, TX where we stay for the winter at the Breezelake Campground. This is the second year for Breezelake. I love it. We stayed from Nov 10, 2008 to March 20, 2009. We like the area because of the mild weather and the many things to do in the area. If you like the beach, it is 15 miles away. Mexico is 5 miles away. There is a zoo, historical sites, birding areas, golfing (lots of golfing), Flea markets, and loads of places to eat out.

If you like to keep busy, then you needn’t worry, the campground has a myriad of activities (both day and night) to keep you busy.

I will explain all of this in the included pictures.
