On Tuesday morning we left bright and early for Port Aransas/Corpus Christi! We got up, finished packing, got dressed and shipped the dogs off to the Rays! (p.s. Thanks Kristin, Brian and Nolan for putting up with them!) We stopped at our customary breakfast taco joint, Taco Shack on Metric and Parmer, before heading down I-35. We stopped once in Kyle for a quick potty break.
Our road trip was pretty uneventful. Lyla slept for about an hour, along with mommy, and we listened to some good music and sang songs with Lyla! We decided to spend our time before we could check into our cottage at the Texas State Aquarium. Lyla loved watching the fish in their "pools". She kept wanting to jump into the tanks with them and swim. We went around to all of the exhibits and then went to see the dolphins. After that we took a lunch break and played on the toddler playground for a little while. Of course, by now, it was about 85 billion degrees outside with about 400% humidity, so we didn't stay outside for long. We decided to take in the dolphin training show before heading out. We also made a last minute stop in the gift shop and got Lyla her very own dolphin, he is stuffed!!
We headed out to Port Aransas about 3:30pm thinking we were making great time but that feeling soon left us when we got to the ferry line...45 minute wait!! AHHH! Lyla was taking a snooze so Teej and I settled in and I read funny parts of a book to him as we waited. We were unlocking the door to the Key Lime Cottage at about 4:45pm! We savored a delicious dinner of hot wings followed up by a brownie sundae for dessert! Brandon, TJ and I took a trip to the local grocery store to get some things we forgot and adult beverages where we encountered some funny locals, yes there's a funny story to that one too! Now we are ready for the beach in the morning! Pictures will follow when we return home!
