The Wright Family: Down by the Beach...

In May, my little family and I got outta dodge and headed south to Port Aransas. Travis and I were in NEED of getting out of work – so we rented a 2 bedroom condo in Port A to get in some good quality beach time and Bug time.

We made great timing getting down there and Blair did great during the drive. Once we got to the condo, our first priority was food! We headed to the local grocery store and stocked up on Bug items (her staples, yogurt, macaroni and cheese, crackers, etc) to make our stay more comfortable.

On our first full day, we were out at the beach by 8:30am. No joke. Blair was sleeping in a “big girl” bed and was up by 7am every single day. Despite our condo being on the beach, there was still a bit of a walk getting to the beach (walking through the resort). Blair walked the whole way, each way! I was so proud of her – she just trekked it like T and I (who were juggling chairs, cooler, bags, etc). The good thing about the beach is that it wore my girl out. We’d come back to the condo, shower and change her, then put her in her room with a movie and she’d be OUT!

We got to eat and see a lot of the places that Travis had remembered from when his family used to vacation there, so that was a lot of fun. Travis said the food was just as good as he had remembered and I can tell he was happy to have his family making this trip, just as his family had done when he was younger.

On our last day, we ventured out to the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus. Blair had a blast getting to walk around and point out fish, sea horses, sting-rays, and jellyfish. Outside (in separate tanks, of course) they had dolphins, otters, and turtles! She had so much fun getting to run around and check out all of the animals. It was a great way to let her burn off some energy and see some aquatic life.

Our little vacay was exactly what we all needed. A lot of good quality family time, playing in the waves, chasing birds, and getting some rest. J It was perfect. It was even better to have the weekend to recuperate before coming back to work.
