I finally booked our Airbnb for our short vacation to Corpus Christi. It’s going to be later in the summer than I would like, but the place I really wanted to stay has been booked solid. I looked a few days ago and there were 4 days open in July. I put in the request and it was accepted.

The kids absolutely love Corpus. I grew up there and we lived there for a year when the kids were younger. We have been back a few times for my high school reunions. The house we found is only one street over from where we used to live and is a very short walk to the Bay front. We have a little cove that we would always walk down to where we would find sea glass and look for hermit crabs living in the rocks. That’s why I wanted to get this house. It’s the perfect location for all the things we are wanting to do.

The kids like to ride the ferry to North Beach. One of our favorite restaurants is Pier 99 on that beach.

I am in desperate need of some beach time. There is nothing like the smell of salt air and sand between your toes.

And guess what came to visit again tonight?

Another major thunderstorm that was so loud it made me jump several times. I like rain, but there is something about enough is enough.
