Coastal Vacation

Frankie and Crystal got in some fishing. Wow what a catch....

It was a beautiful sunset at the beach. It was warm, but at night it cooled off and the breeze was nice.

I think this might be my best shot of the week. Just at sunset, Frankie baiting his line.

Notice the odd shape of the pelican's beak.... He had just swallowed a whole fish.....

No trip to the beach is complete without a trip to the aquarium. Crystal had not been in quite a few years and she really enjoyed it. Here she is looking up from a domed view of the water. We had a great time.

We went to Corpus on Tuesday and visited TAMU CC. Crystal has decided to finish her schooling there. We talked with an advisor and got a view of the campus. We also looked at apartments and she got a feel for what she will need to do before she gets down there. She will go there in May '10.

We ate at some of our favorite places: Topping the list was Charlotte Plumber's, next Crazy Cajun, then Castaways, then Virginia on the Beach, then The Wharf..... Frankie has always liked Big Fisherman .... but I must say it has now moved down to the bottom. San Juan Mexican food has even gone ahead of BIG FISHERMAN....not sure what has happened but in years past we would wait hours but it has lost its appeal. Food was not very good, service terrible, and place is dark.... that is what I have always said.... finally someone listening to me.

Well, I am off the Galveston on Monday. More Shrimp..... I ate shrimp everyday... don't even want to check my blood......
