A few weekends ago we met up with some of our "Okie" friends in Corpus Christi/Padre Island.
Aside from the hurricane induced rain, sleep deprivation, moldy hotel, and whiny kids (we both have two), we actually had a really great time. We were hoping to make this a sun and surf trip but with the weather being as bad as it was, there really wasn't much of a window for swimming. Asher and Elijah did manage to get in some "wave time" but it really was just a there and back sort of visit. (We drove down Saturday morning after I got off work and headed back Sunday afternoon.)
Although the weather was gloomy and the trip was uber short, it was so nice to see our friends. We knew some really amazing people in Oklahoma and I am truly touched that so many of them have come to visit us in Texas. It's nice to know that we haven't been forgotten by our "Oklahomies."
(Note: This post was so old I almost didn't publish it, but we ate at the most wonderful place, I couldn't NOT share. If you are ever in the Corpus Christi area you must check out the Black Sheep Bistro. Amazing food, great atmosphere, it's just what a run-down, over commercialized, beach town needs.)
