Late Vacation Photos

A couple of weeks ago, I told R that our summer schedule was over; therefore, I would be working all day Fridays until next summer. So what was R's response? "We should take a drive somewhere."

I have no idea why it made sense to Richard for me to have to request Friday and use up eight hours when we could have gone somewhere earlier and it only cost me four hours or leave in the afternoon and not cost me any extra hours. But I digress. Long story short, we went to Corpus Christi because that's where people who aren't rich and live in my town go. Still, it was OK because there were a lot of tourists and I had not been to the U.S.S. Lexington, Texas State Aquarium or the Art Museum of South Texas. I think I've been to Port Aransas, but if I can't remember, then it's been too long since I've been there.

Our first stop was the hotel. While R supervised Dan'l in the pool, I went to the flagship Whataburger to pick up dinner. The next day we went to the skate park because some of D's friends were going to compete in a skate competition. We were there about an hour and didn't see his friends. We left quickly because it was very hot and humid. Very. So my first thought after begging R to get us the heck out of there, was to find the Selena statue so I could take a picture for Jensational. Last year it was Permian; this year it was Selena.

You can see where people pose like her because the paint is dirty. Before you ask about the clog, I have no idea why it is there, but it was a complete pair.

Doesn't he look happy?

I think D perfers statues of animals.

The Aquarium was actually fun. That's the Lexington in the background.

I'm so proud of him.

We rode the ferry more times than I care to admit. All the hotels/motels/motor inns were booked and there were no vacancies on the island. Fortunately, we found a hotel two towns later.

This is how I like the beach--not crowded and cloudy.

We finally made it to the Lexington and Dan'l sat in the
captain's quarters.
