Aaahhhhh...The good ol'days.. Fun and sun... Love it.. One day I'm going to retire down there.. I grew up in the town just across the bridge from South padre. It was great! The fishing is excellent, the surfing, and the diving! Not to mention the beach! Great place to go to get away from all the normal stress that you can acquire from living in a big city.. Houston is where I'm living now, The only thing good about Houston is the job's and the money.
