The Beach

Well after a grueling 4 hours or so.. in the car driving to Port Aransas.. Paula and I went and walked down the beach briefly at like 11 oclock (when we got there on tuesday).. and then we went to bed! Paula had trouble sleeping cuz she was worrying about her phone alarm going off.. which she didn't even wake up to in the morning. Wednesday morning we had cereal for breakfast! and egg salad sandwiches for lunch and clam chowder for dinner! In between times.. Paula and I rode the waves atop our boogie boards that we bought especially for the trip and Brenda joined us for an hour or so as well. And we took a break in between time where we watched TV, and slept a little, and then went back out.

Then we went and got "caught" in some tourist traps with brenda; I got a wooden carved dolphin. In the evening on Wednesday, Paula and I weren't quite sure what to do.. cuz we had brought our DVD player and some rentals so we could watch a movie when we were taking a break from the sun.. but the TVs were so old.. the DVD player wouldn't work with them.. sooo we made stupid movies .. sort of lol. (brenda joined us for a few minutes--taking a break from reading her book) they were funny anyhow.
(Just a taste) lol.



look for the "stranger in the window" ^_^

Thursday morning we had danish/coffee cake stuff.. which was good.. and cocktail weiners for breakfast!! yay, my fave. Then we gathered our stuff up a bit, and hurried to the beach to make a sand castle and catch some last minute waves, which we did.. they were really good ones.

and then we had to run back to the hotel to rinse off and gather our stuff into the car, and check out of the hotel. then we went back to the beach for some last minute photo ops.. since we didnt get much on wednesday cuz mom and dad stayed in the hotel mostly cuz they couldn't get the canopy we brought to work (too windy). they didn't want to be in the sun.

For lunch we stopped in at the same restaurant we went to two years ago when we went to the beach, called Charlotte Plumbers, in Rockport. Enjoyed some great seafood.. and stopped in at one other tourist place, where I considered getting a henna tattoo (all natural indian stuff that lasts for like a month).. but ended up getting a new anklet and a new necklace. From there we headed on home.. stopped at the same gas station we stopped at on the way up (only 3.54/gallon) and we bought 4 pints of ice cream.. and ate them all up for only 6$. w00t. We got home at 6:30 and Melanie and Josh we're waiting for us.. cuz they had stopped over to feed the animals.. when they informed us that our A/C had died.. sad story.. it's really hot.
I suppose that's all though, for now =)
