Mini-Getaway

Sunday after church, we loaded up the kids and the camper and took off for a few days. We drove down to Lake Corpus Christi, set the kids free with their bikes, and set up camp. The weekend traffic had already headed out, so we had the park nearly to ourselves. We spent the evening relaxing, swimming, game-playing, bike riding, grilling and eating.

Monday, we got up and made breakfast tacos and then headed for Port Aransas/Mustang Island, one of our favorite (nearby) destinations. We spent the whole day there and had a blast, as always--well, except for my botched attempt at pulled pork sandwiches (the seagulls loved them though!) and the fact that we all burned to a near crisp (turns out three applications of sunscreen is not enough for these pale folks!). We made it back to the camper that evening with plans to grill burgers, but we were all totally wiped out, so we drove to Dairy Queen for dinner and ice cream in the air conditioning. Heaven!

Tuesday, we decided we'd pack up early and head home. We were kinda underwhelmed by the park we were staying at (the lake was SUPER low due to the drought). We made it back to San Antonio and finished off our little vacation by going to the theater to see John Carter in 3D.

All in all, it was a great little trip. Looking forward to putting more of these on the calendar!
