#RememberRockport

Although I have only been lucky enough to spend my summers down in Rockport, TX for the last five years, this place has become like a second home to me.  A huge part of T’s and my relationship has been spent down at the Post Time Beach House.  We have done so much – snapper fishing, Virginia & Julia’s wedding, dinners at The Yacht Club, golf cart cruising, barge parties, various pool parties, adventures to Cedar Bayou, boat cruising to Port A to eat the amazing tuna dip at Virginia’s, birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, Easter and other holidays, and more than anything, just having a GREAT time.  The moment you cross over the bridge to enter Key Allegro Island, all worries go out the window.  You are there to have a good time, and you know that you will be surrounded by amazing people.  The atmosphere in Key Allegro is addicting and makes you think twice about leaving on Sunday 🙂

As most of you know who are reading this, Rockport and the surrounding area was hammered by Hurricane Harvey last night.  He came onshore as a category 4 hurricane, something we haven’t had in Texas since 1961.  It is a very unsettling feeling not knowing how Key Allegro and Rockport and Fulton fared during the storm.  I know how attached I’ve grown to Rockport, and I can’t even imagine what it is like for the permanent residents and those who have spent their entire lives vacationing down there.  I hope anyone who decided not to evacuate is safe and has appropriate shelter and food, and those of you brave enough to drive down there are also kept safe.

As we sit and wait, wondering when we’ll get a glimpse of the Post Time Beach House and what may be left of it, I thought it would be appropriate to share some of the pictures I’ve accumulated over the years in Rockport.  There are so many memories there, and I know these won’t be the end of them.
