The Corpus Christi Family Vacation Do's and Do Not's...
DO
go to the
Texas State Aquarium...
It was very cool.
Beth's favorite was petting the sting rays.
Izzy's was watching the dolphin show....twice.
DON'T
choose a beach with 4 feet of seaweed between you and the ocean
The beach wasn't actually that bad. The kids and Lance enjoyed making sand castles and getting wet. I tried (and failed) to get comfortable on a towel on the sand or sitting on the tailgate of the car.
DO
visit the USS Lexington...
the aircraft carrier in Corpus.
DON'T
visit the Lexington when you are pregnant...
there are A LOT of stairs/ladders to squeeze up and down.
DO
let your husband climb in the photo op planes to get some of his "I wish I was a fighter pilot" feelings outta his system.
DO
go out for ice cream....
if nothing else just to see the
"chocolate face"
of the 3 year old.
DON'T
use spray on sunscreen in the wind.
It doesn't work very well.
I look just as bad.
DO
go to Denny's on your birthday.
You get a free breakfast!!
DON'T
choose the only Sacrament meeting to attend that decided to skip Sunday School and have Sacrament Meeting go an hour and a half instead...
especially when you didn't bring anything for the kids to do.
DON'T
book a room on the coast based solely on price and a few internet pictures.
Our room wasn't THAT bad but it was a little dirty and didn't have the basics, like paper towels, soap, and toilet paper.
Thank goodness for Walmart.
When will I ever learn...
You get you what you pay for.
DO
go on a lovely vacation with your family for your 30th birthday.
It was great to get away for a few days.
Thank you to all of you who sent me birthday wishes.

Looks like you had an amazing birthday! I want to go there/ the beach! Love your do's and dont's!
Ya know, the whole time we lived in Houston we never made it down to Corpus! Do you recommend it? Can't wait to do these sort of things together soon!!!
love it! wish we could have come. glad you had a nice bday weekend (30!). your girls are so grown up and beautiful! Leif is loving all the shirtless pics of Lance. and you are just the cutest prego ever! as always.
How fun! Makes me kinda jealous! You look fantastic by the way! I can't wait for you to get your new one, just make sure to post lots of pics!
It was fun to see your post after I got the low down from Lance! You have a great way of telling the story! The girls look like they had a good time. And if it makes you feel better, I totally forgot you were turning 30, I was keeping you at 29 for another year :). You did a better job at celebrating the milestone than I did.
PS look on Thursday for Spencer's birthday post, thanks for the 2 week grace period though!
What a fun birthday! Loved the do's and dont's especially about the sun screen.;)
