Kingsville TX Naval Air Station

We have arrived at the Naval Air Station (NAS) in Kingsville and plan to stay for a month. The RV park is a bit primitive compared to other military parks, but at $245 per month, the price is right, and the weather is warm and sunny. We have reserved one the five sites that has a covered patio with full hookups.

Our second night here we enjoyed a western style parade in Kingsville. We will visit the historic Harrel Pharmacy with its old fashioned soda fountain when our grandchildren arrive from Wimberly. The famous King Ranch, the King western style store with saddle shop and two museums are also on our planned tour agenda.

There are few active duty personnel at NAS Kingsville; they are mostly pilots in training. Eventually, these young men and women will be landing on aircraft carriers. Due to a lack of business, bowling on post will be free for the next few days. Biking is one of our favorite activities, and the fitness center is fantastic. Planes are in the air all day and late into the night, but the noise does not bother us. We are so exhausted by bedtime that we never hear them.

Yesterday was a big day at the Officer's Club. There were all kinds of nibble food, and the game was shown on a huge screen. We had front row seats, as the Post Commander's wife did not show with her entourage. We did not mind.
