Rockport had their Art Festival this weekend and I so love seeing handmade art from local artist and I finally got Fred (who doesn't have a drop of artistic blood) into going...WooHoo!! It was hot and I just carried the little point and shoot camera with me...
Fred and Michael checking out some of the artwork...There were so many nice items and it was hard but I behaved myself. I did get a few business cards for future reference...
I was checking out the Storm clouds to the North and Fred was checking out the Funnel cakes.
After checking out the art festival we decided to visit the Texas Maritime Museum. Michael and I more or less dragged Fred in there with us...
And actually Fred enjoyed it...
This model is the La Belle
Michael loved being able to actually touch a real piece of a canon...too cool!
Lots of hands on exhibits and Michael enjoyed that...
Fred found the exhibit on Oil drilling in the gulf interesting
One of Michael's favorites...
I wasn't allowed to use a flash in the museum so that is the reason for the blurry photos...
We went up to the 3rd floor to the observation deck...It was really neat to get a Birds eye view of Rockport and the Marina.
Fred helping Michael get a better view
A "you are here" map of the coastal waters...It showed the route LaSalle used when he sailed the coast, the present day inter-coastal ship channel and the routes the early settlers used to navigate the coast and bays...really interesting (I love maps)...
The Art Festival from above...
The Marina and looking off towards Mustang Island.
We had a great day even if it was 100+ temperature wise....
