We headed to Port Aransas with the 3 kiddos. We weren't sure how the 7 hour drive would go, but it was much better than what we thought it might be. We left at 3 am on August 1st. The kids fell right back to sleep when we got in the car. They woke up around 7:00...we got breakfast at a drive-thru around 8:00, they watched some cartoons on the DVD player, and by that time we were almost there! Carissa slept well and was in a great mood when she was awake. Pretty easy!!
The kids played on the beach Monday afternoon and most of the day Tuesday and Wednesday.
We stayed until August 4th. We had planned to leave about 9 am that morning, but Carissa had difficulty getting to sleep, and everytime we did get her to sleep and put her down, she would wake up. She had a stuffy nose and wasn't feeling well, so she was having a hard time breathing when lying down. After 2 hours of carrying her around while she tried to sleep, I suggested to Ev that we might as well go and get a head start on the drive. I knew we wouldn't be getting any sleep that night with her waking up and us walking her around. Ev started packing at 2 am and we were in the car ready to go by 3 am.
Chloe and Kyle loved playing on the beach! They already want to go back! We thought we might try to go a little further to another beach on the next trip.
