Beach Vacation

We decided to take a fall vacation this year since Jackson was so little during the summer months and the beach is better when it isn't super hot anyway. So we headed on down to Port Aransas, TX which is about 20 miles or so outside of Corpus Christi, TX & a little ways north of South Padre Island. We rented a nice little studio condo that was right on the beach (well a walk down the trail & then you were on the beach). Isabella is on the patio of our condo in the picture where she is in her PJs. It was nice to be so close to the beach so that Jackson could nap while Isabella played on the beach. We were also able to cook our own meals in the condo so we ate breakfast & lunch there & then just ate out for dinner. So we saved money & ate a bit healthier this way! The weather was perfect (mostly upper 70's) & the water was warm enough to swim in. Isabella had a blast playing in the waves & the sand & Jackson really didn't even seem to notice!

While in Port Aransas we took a dolphin watch boat trip out to view the dolphins & other sea life. We saw lots of dophins but couldn't quite get them in the pictures! Isabella got to hold a sting ray (see above) & some other sea life. It was a fun little trip.
We took one day to go into Corpus Christi to visit the TX State Aquarium. They had lots of fun things to see & do, we all had a nice visit.
