Beach Adventures - Day 1

We recently took our annual trip to Port Aransas. We left Sunday, and decided to stop in Goliad for lunch. Mom was tired of Whataburger, so I decided to try a local mexican restaurant that actually looked busy (think small Texas town busy). Needless to say, we probably won't go back. The food was decent, it was other things.....
The restaurant was located in the main square where the very nice courthouse is. As I love history, we had to take some pics. I was also reading the plaques and it seems Goliad has deep history besides the famous Santa Anna massacre. When the kids are big enough we will have to spend some time in this town.
After our lunch break, we made the rest of the journey to Port A. We took the ferry over - its so fun! Once we got to the condo and checked in, we decided to head to the beach. I have to say I like this condo. Great prices for off season, right on the beach, two pools, and not crowded!
The kids loved the beach. Autumn had her first experience with the waves/water and loved it. I could not get her out of it. She also enjoyed the very large sandbox at her disposal. Mason went right for the waves and I think one might have scared him a bit. He was a little afraid of the water for the rest of the day, but he did enjoy being outside and playing in the sand. He even tried a few times to go nude. I had to remind him several times that it was not a nude beach :) We stayed out at the beach until the sun started to go down. Day 1 was a success!
