Last year we had our first family vacation and took the kids to Florida to visit Daniel's oldest son. We went during Spring break so the water was a little cold so this year I wanted to take the kiddos back to the coast when they could swim without their teeth chattering. When I was little we always went to Port Aransas so we decided to repeat history and take my kiddos there. We found a state park where you could camp on the beach or just over the sand dunes. We chose over the sand dunes with electric and water. It was great. The sites were nice and Daniel put up all sorts of shade and we were walking distance to the beach..
The kids could barely wait to get in the water. Daniel saw the waves and decided we needed a board to play with too. That was a big hit with the kiddos.
We spend half of one day just exploring the island. We found the ferry that I remember riding as a kid. They kids loved driving the car up onto the boat but thought the ride was way to short.
We also enjoyed the fishing. Daniel liked fishing off the jetty but I get caught on any rock around so I hated the jetty. We did find a nice little bay across the road and went fishing there. It felt just like being in lake. I told Daniel I need to catch something weird looking so I knew I was in saltwater. So what did I catch???? A saltwater catfish!! Ugh!
However I did also catch a huge blue crab.
After 4 nights of camping were all getting ready for the comfort of home but decided to drag the trip home out by stopping in San Antonio to visit the Alamo. The kids and Daniel loved it. It was a nice end to our week vacation.I've also decided it's time for a pop up camper. While I like camping in tents because it's "real" camping I've decided I want a real bed, A/C, sink, and fridge. I completely expect to have one by next summer.
