Corpus Christi

There are a lot of pictures in this post. I guess it's to make up for the lack of posts lately. 

Corpus Christi is a little town on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It's about a 3 hour drive to get out to the actual coast from our house. We took a ferry even! Eliza did pretty good on the drive, managing a little nap and a lot of songs. But it was worth it. She loved the beach. Once introduces to the sand and a shovel she had a blast.

Daddy also loved the sand and a shovel. 

Eliza's looses her pants and gains a sweater. 

Let's go fly a kite.

Snuggling to get warm.

We stayed overnight in the Navy Lodge on base. Well actually it turned out to be the Navy Inn which was slightly less nice than the lodge. We were all asleep by 8:30 from sun and exhaustion. The next day we went to the aquarium. We had the choice of History Museum, tour of the USS Lexington, or the aquarium and I guess we made the right choice because Eliza loved the fish.

Stopping for some lunch.  I loved these little squeezable fruit/veggies (mostly fruit), but they are expensive. Great for the road, but not for everyday. After lunch we hit the beach again but this time just the Bay and not the actual Gulf. There were no waves and the sand was more rocky but we still had fun digging. 

Back home enjoying Max's comfy bed.

We will definitely do this again sometime. Maybe in the hot summer so the water is more inviting. Maybe when someone comes to visit we will have to take a trip. You could make it a one day trip but we enjoyed the overnight.
