Last week, we were so lucky to have one more summer vacation adventure. Bryan's parents let us borrow their trailer to travel down to South Padre Island, Texas. The thing is monstrous and Bryan did an excellent job hauling it down to the very southern tip of Texas. Texas is one crazy place especially when you live right in the middle. You can drive and drive and drive and still be in Texas. With three small children and the trailer, it took us a good solid 6 hours to get to SPI from San Antonio.
Here we are crossing the Isabella Causeway from Port Isabel, Texas. Literally gorgeous view!!!
We made it!!!!
After being couped up for 6 hours, the kids were bouncing off the walls!!!!
I feel like I bore ya'll with my vacation tales and pictures so I am going to do a very brief version of our story!!
SPI had beautiful fireworks over the bay!!!
We visited rescued turtles. This one was missing its front flipper.
We climbed a lighthouse.
Rocco and Jillian went fishing for the first time and Rocco caught a fish!!!
But seriously, this was my view every.single.day. No clouds in the sky. Beautiful white sand. The sounds of waves in my ear. (It was hot though. Near 100 everyday.)
We drove to the north end of SPI everyday and enjoyed the beaches. Barely anyone on the beach to share the sun.
The kids faces looked like this everyday.
Sheer happiness and enjoying the sand, the waves and each other.
This is one of the best family pics we have gotten.
I am a beach girl. Born that way and will die that way. I love everything about the beach. SPI was a great change of pace for us. Little farther than we are used to (Port Aransas takes us almost 3 hours) but a great family vacation spot.
I have one more day of summer until I am officially back to duty. This summer has been so fun and I am so lucky I get to recharge my battery and enjoy my kids before I start another school year.
