Port A - Part 1



So we struck out this year on our first ever family vacation!  We headed south to Port Aransas for a week neither Mike or I will ever forget.  Port A holds so many wonderful memories for me.  It is the place I always remember going as a little girl, it is where my parents always let me bring a friend, it is where Chad and Kelly got engaged, where Mike and I took our first vacation together, where we went right before we found out we were pregnant with Madie and now the first place we ever took our daughter.  It was perfect, our kind of perfect.  In fact, I often say it just may be my favorite place on earth.

Here is Ms. Priss at 3:00am.  We decided to leave in the middle of the night so she would sleep, for the first hour we just kept hearing giggles and clapping.  She knew we were up to something great!

Our first stop was the State Aquarium in Corpus.  It was so much fun!  Madie loved it.


 Up close and personal with a shark!


 Then it was off to the condo.  Here is Madie the first time she saw the ocean from our balcony!

 Toes in the sand



 After our first stroll on the beach we headed into town to see what the boats brought in, Madie met this dog at the docks.  She kept chasing it around. Ha!

 Finally, dinner at Fins right on the water

What a great first night!
