Jordan's parents have a house on the bay in the sleepy, beach town of Rockport ,TX (it's 30 minutes from Corpus Christi).
S0...after weeks and weeks of crazy, hairy, stressful days, we thought some r&r and a slower pace sounded like the perfect way to spend a long weekend.
We flew out Thursday night. Barely. We were to leave out of Dallas and had a connecting flight in Houston and whatdya know, they shut the dern Houston Hobby airport down because of T-storms. Oh NOOOO!!!! But, alas, after a few hours of chillin' at jam-packed Love Field, our wishes came true, and we were Rockport-bound!
I would post pics and go into great detail about the trip, if 1) I had taken any pics or 2)we'd had a full itinerary. Nope. Fraid not folks. This weekend was all about doing a wholotta nuthin'!

Our long weekend consisted of 1 trip to the grocery for essentials (dips, chips, snacks, beverages) and reluctantly getting cleaned up each night to venture out for dinner to MoonDog's on Friday and Los Comales on Saturday.
The bulk of our days were filled with sleeping in, catching some rays, lounging in the pool, fishing off the dock, hilariously watching the boys attempt kayaking (they eventually synchronized themselves) and last, but not least-vegging out!
We had a wonderful time. It's as though when you pull into the driveway there, you leave all thoughts of work, stress, blah, blah, blah...at the curb.
We can't wait to get back to slower-paced times in Rockport again, soon. Until then...we shall live to fight another day in the rat race that is life as we all know it. Yes, reality sure does stink sometimes, that's for sure!
