Anniversary in South Padre Island!!


To celebrate our 4 year anniversary, Jeff took off work and we went on vacation to South Padre Island which is an island in the Gulf of Mexico. We stayed in a hotel right on the beach, so it was so nice to just go and relax. The bad thing is that we were dumb and got burnt on the first day we were there. It was also our first real far away vacation with Jamisen. He loved the beach and we are pretty sure he ingested an unhealthy amount of sand...but I guess that comes with the territory. We had such a great time...and it was an amazing way to celebrate 4 years of marriage!

We got some bubbles and a kite from the store and Jamisen loved watching the both of them.

He loves his dad...
At the restaurant we went to they had live music, and the guy playing loved Jamisen and actually dedicated and played a song for him.
We love Jamo's chunky little feet...they are like bricks. :)
Jamisen was being a stinker and kept waking up in our hotel room throughout the night, so Jeff took him out to the beach each morning at sunrise so I could catch some extra sleep. This is a cute picture he took, and also explains why he is in his pajamas.
We saw a sea turtle in the water which was amazing...

We also visited a place where they save injured sea turtles so they can be released back in the ocean.



We also had a stopover in Chorpus Christi which was a really fun town. The weather was hot and nice, and we strolled up and down the boardwalk.
Jeff and Jamisen doing some father-son fishing off the dock into the ocean...as you can see they are in heaven.
In Corpus they have this huge retired war ship called the USS Lexington. Apparently it is one of the most famous World War 2 ships. Supposedly it is haunted by soldiers that died in it...a little creepy.
