Honeymoon
We spent our first honeymoon in Port Aransas. Our next honeymoon was in Quebec, followed by a seven month get away in France. But before I get ahead of myself, Port Aransas.
As a wedding gift, Melanie and I were given four days and five nights in this condo. It could comfortably house ten college kids (they typically don't mind sleeping on a couch), so the size of the place was a bit excessive.
Here is the view for our balcony.
This is a small coffee shop that makes the best patries. When they run out, they are out for the day. Given the place's popularity, I got there early each morning. However, they choose to be closed on Tuesdays, which sort of put a damper on the day. The other restaurants in town are equally as good. Our most surprising meal came from a small place called "The Crazy Cajun". It is both good and inexpensive, a combination that is hard to beat.
Here is an example of Beemans' craftsmanship. That is enough icing to put you into a diabetic coma.
Taking a break from the afternoon sun, Melanie watched copious amounts of TLC.
Melanie and I out on the beach. I was surprised by the disregard that vacationers treated the beaches. There were countless cigarette butts strewn about, and sundry other debris polluted the coastline. The utter lack of respect that people show towards nature is saddening.
One of Melanie's aunts and uncles decided to make the most of their Texas vacation by vising the coast. After realizing the Corpus Cristi is nothing to write home about, they ventured on to Port A. They figured that the odds that they would run into us would be small. Oddly enough, they stayed at the same condo. It really was not that big of a deal as we only saw them three times. The last of which was on purpose so that we could take this pic. I had a wonderful time, and was sad to leave.
