Most people think of summer when they picture Port Aransas, but autumn brought me unexpected joy at Port A RV Resort.
The weather was cooler, the beaches quieter, and the bird migration spectacular. Walking the nature trails, I saw more wildlife in a single morning than I had all summer trips combined.
One evening, I cooked gumbo with shrimp, sausage, and okra, paired with cornbread muffins. Eating that hearty meal under crisp fall skies felt like the perfect seasonal celebration.
At night, I spread a blanket outside the RV and watched Orion rise over the Gulf. The stars sparkled brighter in the cooler air, reminding me why autumn on the Texas coast is pure magic.
