First trip to the beach




We all enjoyed our mini-vacation to the beach last week. We had a great view of the ocean from our room and Aubrey liked to look out the window and say, "biggest water ever seen". We had a little rain on our way down and more rain as we were packing to leave our hotel, but we had 2 nice days of clear skies to spend outside. Aubrey loved running along the beach, chasing seagulls, finding "she sells" and hermit crabs, jumping the waves and building sand castles with Daddy. We also spent a lot of time at our hotel's pool going down the slide and playing in the waterfall. Another highlight for Aubrey was riding in the "alligator" (elevator) and going to see the talking bird in the hotel lobby. It would either say, "hi, hello, or bye bye" every time we waked by and Aubrey thought it was hilarious. On our way back we stopped in Houston and got to have dinner with some good friends and then saw Aubrey's Gigi and Aunt Shannon the next day for lunch before we came back to Austin. We had a relaxing time and really enjoyed Robert's time off.
