Backtracking a little to last month in Corpus Christi.... I can't leave out the details of our time with my aunt and uncle! Herb and Cynthia drove all the way down from Oklahoma City for 11 hours straight just to spend a weekend with us and escape the cold weather. Wouldn't you know it was a freezing cold weekend in Corpus, but we still loved their company! They arrived on a Thursday with Disney store gifts galore for little Miss Carmen and Brooks. They are so good to us.
The next morning we visited Michael's mall and ate lunch at Chick-fil-A. Then we all went out to Joe's Crab Shack on the pier for a seafood dinner. It was a wonderful time and Uncle Herb made me cap it off with a mudslide so I was delighted.
We tried out our favorite diner for breakfast.
Then we took them to our favorite park by the water and were surprised by an unexpected car show complete with a DJ blasting reggaeton...
....so we went for a stroll along the pier. It was a chilly, but gorgeous morning.
Later that evening, Michael came home early and Herb and Cynthia treated us to a date night! We took our first dinner out together in Corpus Christi and went to Waterstreet Seafood Co for our most delicious meal of the entire month! The fish we ordered was caught fresh that day - so, so good. H&C were so kind to us (especially since Brooks had a big diaper blowout not even 15 mins after we left.) and it was such a treat to get to spend a quiet meal out with my love. They drove home with a few of our boxes and luggage bags only to return them to us the following weekend in Dallas to help save space as we made the move up north. We got lucky and got to see them two weekends in a row! I love my family.
My last week in Corpus was delightful. The weather warmed back up and we took full advantage of our favorite spots. The aquarium was a hit for both Carmen and Brooks. I don't know if you can see how cute her profile is in the pic below but she is clapping for the dolphin (in between the two other girls).

This was taken as we waited in line at Starbucks drive-thru, she's just being her normal, excited, expressive self. Maybe a little more thrilled because she's getting a kids' hot chocolate.
Our last day out on Padre Island beach together
We played "ice cream truck" in the back of the pick-up for quite some time, then decided we needed to go eat real ice cream after all that pretending.
