Rockport's Blue Crab
We booked our reservation in Rockport because we had to have some warranty work done on our trailer and there was an RV shop in town that could do the work on it. Rockport is about 45 minutes north of Corpus Christi on the gulf. 
It is a nice size, with a beautiful harbor and beach area.
The blue building is an old home that houses the Rockport Center for the Arts. They have rotating collections, studio areas, classes and a nice gift shop. Outside is a small, but impressive sculpture garden.
This sculpture had water cascading down its sides -
the gulls were loving their private spa!
We also visited the Aquarium.
This is Harley, the Moray eel - he is the star of the aquarium. He is about 4-5 feet long and they were constructing a new aquarium for him that was going to cost over $10,0000!
this guy loved to follow me back & forth
It was fun to see all of the unusual (and usual) fish that live in the area. The volunteers at the aquarium were very knowledgeable and the aquarium was pet friendly!
It was fun to wander the harbor - there is so much I don't know about that kind of life.
We met a couple who lives on their boat and travel from port to port seeing the country.
Only in Texas do you see a longhorn skull on a boat!
Rockport's sister city is Fulton - another pretty little town.

Fulton was having its annual Oyster Fest while we were there. They had music, lots of arts & crafts, oyster eating contests and a huge beer tent. We had to try the oysters fresh out of the gulf - they were unique....
We had a great time in Rockport/Fulton - it is one of our favorite surprise find
