Tour of Texas....Part 4: Port Aransas

The final stop on our Tour of Texas was Port Aransas. This is a small island beach town just outside of Corpus Christi. There really isn't much in this small town except the fishermen and the beach. When we arrived we decided to visit the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi before going to the island. The aquarium was small but the dolphin training show was a lot of fun and Katelyn enjoyed seeing them. They also had a show with various other rescue animals including an anteater that was really fun.
We only go to spend a couple of hours at the beach before the rain set in. The water was cold and the wind was really windy but we enjoyed picking up sea shells and flying a kite. We also really enjoyed our dinner at Castaways of fried fish and shrimp fresh from the gulf.
Once the rain set in we decided that we were all really tired! It had been a long seven nights aways from home. We decided to head home instead of spending another night in a hotel. Katelyn go to see the beach even though it was a very short stay and we all had a blast on our tour of texas! We are definitely glad to be home though!
