Texas Aug 2009

Wow, that vacation went fast!

This year we drove down to Port Aransas, Texas. We left Saturday, August 15 about 8a, then stopped in Kansas City to visit my cousins and Aunt and families. They had a great meal waiting for us and the boys got to expend some energy on a neighbor's trampoline. We then continued on at 9p and reached Corpus Christi about 10am. We couldn't get into our condo until 4p, so we headed to lunch, Academy (a fishing store), the pool and shopping. Then we had 9 days of pool, beach and fishing. We had great weather (no storms this year) and the fishing was better than the last 2 years. We headed home just like we came, and made it there safe and sound. We're all already thinking of next year. Lucky Bret and Connor will head back in October for a long fishing weekend with Josh and Nolan (Bret's brother and nephew). Enjoy the pictures! More pictures of the new house very soon!
