Day 10 Texas Vacation Xmas 2008

Today is Monday December 29, 2008

We thought today we should head over the causeway to the mainland and check out a few things in Port Isabel. After lunch we headed out. We had noticed this neat souvenir shop with a big shark as part of the buildings design so we stopped here to take some photos and we found some good deals inside. Appropriately the stores name is Jaws

We drove over the causeway to the mainland and our first stop is the Point Isabel Lighthouse. We had a tour of the lighthouse and climbed to the top.

Then we went to the Harris Sea Castle Gift Shop. We found some good deals here and the outside facade of the building is very unique.

Even the Radio Shack store has a neat statue of dolphins.

After arriving back at the hotel, we went for a walk along the beach and took some photos of birds that we encountered.
