South Padre Island Sept. 8th-16th





We had such a wonderful time on our vacation to South Padre Island, TX. It is about 9 hours from where we live but it was worth the drive. The beach was practically emply, because everyone's kids are in school. The ocean was nice and calm, which was great for our little kids. We spent our days playing on the beach and swimming in the ocean, it was 82 degrees! We rented a two bedroom condo, which was half price because it is the off season. It was much nicer than staying in a hotel because Sam and I could actually do things after the kids went to bed. In addition to playing on the beach we took a dophin tour, a boat ride where they take you out in the bay to see the dophins. There were a ton of dophins. We learned that they don't have any preditors in the golf. Gavin even got to drive the boat. There were about 12 of us on the tour that usually holds 100. You have to love vacationing during the off season. We also went to Sea Turtles Inc. It is a rescue center for sea turtles, so they have a lot of tanks of turtles. That was also interesting to see.

You need a new computer. Didn't Jeff email you any good ideas? You should have Sam call Jeff. I bet sam could build you an awesome computer.
