Corpus Christi

Last weekend Matt's awesome Mom came to town. We love when Katie comes to visit, and even more so this trip because she watched our girls while we escaped for a weekend trip to Corpus Christi. Our 6 year anniversary is coming up this weekend, and we haven't missed a trip yet around our anniversary so we took advantage of Grammi's visit to celebrate.

So let's just say when you are using a GPS, make sure you put the right city in, otherwise you may be end up in the ghetto wondering where in the world your hotel is and wondering if you're gonna get jumped before you find it!

After our little GPS problem we drove through Corpus and on to Port Aransas where we stayed the night. Port Aransas is a tiny little beach town outside of Corpus, it was perfect for a quiet day!

The second day we checked out the Corpus Christi bay which included stops at the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium. We also swam in the lagoon they call the ocean.

Taking the ferry to get to Port Aransas.
I found this whole ferry thing to be very entertaining. I mean, who's idea is it to ferry all these cars back and forth every day, build a bridge for crying out loud!

It was a perfect weekend and we are so grateful to Katie for helping us make it happen!
