Labor Day Festivities

Happy Wednesday!
Here's a little update while I wait for the laundry to finish drying:
Labor day went by way too quickly! Christian and I had a lot of fun with his parents and I'm so glad they were able to make the trip down.

SATURDAY

Saturday was a cloudy day with some sprinkles, so we decided to take a trip down to the aquarium!  I'm always up to go there, I love seeing all the turtles, otters and especially the dolphins!! I have been told that Christians mom attracts dolphins wherever she goes, and I believe it now because there were a bunch of dolphins swimming in the bay right outside of the aquarium!  I never see them swimming out there that late in the day.
Here are some pictures I took on our little aquarium adventure:

The turtle was being shy

Awesome jelly fish!

They don't even know I took this..ha
Obviously, I love dolphins.

After the aquarium we went back to my parents house and sat in the backyard for awhile and just hung out and talked, it was really relaxing. Then, the boys went into the living room and started to watch football.  So naturally, I fell asleep on the couch (oops!).  That was the pretty much the end of my day..


SUNDAY

Sunday we were going to go to the beach, but nobody was too thrilled about the idea (I didn't want to deal with the crowds).  So we had to just wing it.  Christian went to a late breakfast with his parents while I showered and got ready for the day (wasn't planning on doing that if we went to the beach).  Then I met them back at my parents and we went to the movies and saw the campaign- it was so funny!
After, we decided to go to Port Aransas to catch a ride on the ferry to see if we'd have any more dolphin sightings.  No such luck, but it was still fun.
For dinner we went to Trout Street (also known as Pearl Street now).  Thank goodness it wasn't too hot, so we got to sit out on the deck looking over the marina while the sun went down.  It was so nice! After dinner we took a little stroll down the dock, which is where I snapped this pretty picture:


MONDAY

Christian had a flight so he wasn't able to see his parents before they headed back to Arlington.  So I went to breakfast with them at alcapulco. 
After they left, I went over to my grandmas for awhile.  It was so good to catch up with her and keep her company for a few hours.  Then my mom and I went around town to a bunch of antique stores looking for a desk for Christian.  I really want to find a small desk, preferably with a large drawer to file away all his papers and books so they're not scattered all over the apartment.  
Who knew Corpus had such cool antique shops?! 

Some of the fun finds

Even though I didn't find a desk, we had so much fun! Too bad we don't have any nieces or nephews, because they had a ton of really cool stuff for kiddos.

Until next time...
