Below are the pages that I created for our month in South Padre Island, Texas, in April of this year. As many of you will remember, it was a battle between us and the RV to see who would win the "leak" battle. (Just a FYI, WE won.... No more leaks... (knock on wood)).
It was a great month where we relaxed on the beach and got accustomed to RV living. I will say that we had more lumps on our heads as we got used to the RV, its amazing how many low hanging things there are to knock you in the head.
