Ben has been itching to get to the coast. His dad grew up in Corpus Christi hence many of his childhood trips were to the beach and to visit grandparents there. It is only a 4 hour drive from where we are so we took advantage of summer time and off we went!
We left in the morning and made it to the Texas State Aquarium a little after lunchtime. The kids were very excited, especially since they had recently watched "A Dolphin Tale" and are a little obsessed with the sea right now.
Enjoying the exhibits

Will was brave too
SHARK TANK!
The dolphins! Hannah's favorite anything and everything right now is dolpins!
Waiting for the dolphin show!
The kids really liked the pet tanks. This one had stingrays.
They have a splash park there which was great for some unwinding time. Here are Hannah's skinny little legs and Henry having fun.

We got some dinner to go and ate at this beautiful park
Cute little fish!
Hmmm...pretty fishy.
They loved watching the waves crash on the rocks
Henry just wanted to jump in!
We then drove to stay at Gregg and Toni's home, Ben's aunt and uncle. They were so gracious and treated us like royalty, we were so happy to get to stay with them and visit them!
