We've decided that family vacations are awesome when grandparents are along too. The ratio of four adults to two kids is the way to go. We just had a fun long weekend down at Port Aransas with Mom, Dad and a bunch of Dad's high school buddies. The guys went on a fishing boat Friday morning, so Mom and I took the kids to the beach by ourselves. Luckily Alex slept most of the time we were there (he wasn't too impressed with it all once he woke up). Grace loved it (as usual, though it's been probably 18 months since she's been to the beach).
Saturday we made it to the Texas State Aquarium since the weather was kind of crappy. But the weather cleared up so we made it back to the beach that evening, marking Jim's first time to actually check out the Port A beach. Luckily the incredible amount of seaweed that was on the beach and in the water had been scraped up and/or had floated back out to sea, so he actually got to see it on a good day.
We go back to the beach in about six weeks when we take advantage of the Donwen house in Destin (thanks Bill and Bonnie!). Too bad we can't drag some grandparents along with us for that trip too.
Many pictures to come.
