Day 1: Headed down the coast via Houston (thank heavens for a DVD player in the car). Played at the beach for a few hours before dinner.
Day 2: The beach: Enormous cargo ships. Oil rigs in the distance. Swooping pelicans. Sail boats. Sand castles. Annoying kids belonging to others who come along and destroy those castles. Sunburns. Sea shells. Salt water. Sun.
Day 3: Travel to historic Goliad Mission & Castle (farther than we though, but fun nonetheless). Headed to San Antonio only to find it packed with people and full of no vacancy signs. Another trip. Another time. Continued on through and headed for Austin.
Day 4: Toured the state house and found a cool mall so everyone could have something different to eat and then we all ordered from Chick-fil-a anyway. Packed up.
Day 5: Boarded the Bertram Flyer. Back in the car to head home. Stop and go. All. The. Way.
