Corpus Christi <3

So Friday we packed up our belongs and grab our friend Lauren and her daughter Addison and took a well deserved (and well needed) trip down to Corpus Christi. We were suppose to be following Julz and Rick but due to heavy traffic we followed from a far. It sort of turn into a race that they ultimately won, but non the less, it kept us from going completely crazy! We did have the edge on them for a little bit! But at least all of us made it there in one piece! We were all there for a Marriage Enrichment Retreat and I can safely say the guys stayed wide awake for 99% of it. (that one percent is for my husband, the only one who felt it was ok to sleep for a lil bit) But all in all it was a good weekend. We got to spend the time with great and wonderful friends who, and I will brag, are the bestest ever! The boys fished, and caught hard heads, trout, a shrimp eel, and a crab! Us girls just lounged around, did a bit of walking, but refused to over exert ourselves. Had drinks at the hotel bar, lunch at the Glass Pavillion, Dinner at Joes Crab Shack (Tracy and Lauren we completely owe you!), and Lunch at Wallbangers! Breakfast was provided to us before our course started each morning. David and I ended up staying one more night and took in the Aquarium, some surf shops, a walk, dinner at Chilis, and Trublood before going to bed and waking up bright and early to leave! We had a nice drive, and I have decided I would love to take a trip to Goliad. I love learning about history and there were grave sights for COL Fannin and his troops, and several churches, and what looked to be a convent. Just to go stay for a weekend would be awesome!
