Yesterday we went down to the Texas coast and had a great time. The ride down was pretty smooth. Owen slept most of the way and when he woke up, was in a great mood. At three hours it was his longest car ride. Our first stop was the aquarium. It was fun, except the otter exhibit was closed for repairs. The dolphins more than made up for it though. One in particular really seemed to like us and would swim over to where we were and pause for a long time! Owen was awed! Then we ate some seafood by the water and had a funny waiter. Three minutes after we sat down, I asked Jeff, "Do you believe a word he said?" I mean, he very quickly told us all of this strange and unbelievable stuff. But it was likely all true. Water attracts characters. Anyway, we drove on down to the National Seashore. In my opinion, the best beach in Texas for sure. It is a protected area so, no development and not very crowded. We all loved it like crazy!! We got blankets and got cozy....I can not wait to go back and put Owen in the water. The ride back was pretty dicey with Owen crying for most of it. It made me think twice about taking him too far from home again any time soon. Anyway, next time we will likely stay the night so we will not have a night time car crisis. All in all, a great first family vacation.
