1st family trip to the beach

We took our first trip to the beach this weekend. We have been talking about driving down since we moved here 3 1/2 yrs ago but we always bring it up on Sunday afternoons after the weekends over. This time we did it! We drove down Sat. afternoon, spent the night at a great hotel in Corpus overlooking the bay. Got up Sunday morning, headed to the local Cracker Barrel for breakfast and spent the rest of the day at the beach. We had such a great time, the boys had never been to the beach. They loved playing in the sand with Dad, especially burying each other and then laying on the shore and letting the waves hit them. I can't believe this is only 3 hours away!
