Another Tough Day at the Office





Corpus Christi, TX. We spent our Saturday lounging on the beach at the Padre Island National Seashore. The seashore is 65.5 miles of pristine coastline, the longest in the country. As the tide came in, the body surfing definitely got better and we spent a long time in the water. In an attempt to take a different route home, we ended up driving about 8 miles on the beach on our way to Bob Hall Pier and the highway. On our 4 wheeling adventure we encountered may fishermen, some of them clothed and others not. Once we got close to the pier there were lots of large groups on the beach having cookouts and playing horseshoes and other games.

After a long day at the beach we headed over to one of the local favorites Snoopy's Pier. Dinner was followed by dessert next door at the ice cream shop called Scoopy's. We felt like kids again, since it was so hot, it was impossible to eat the ice cream fast enough to keep it from making a total mess. All in all, it was a great day, and much needed.
