Spring Break in a Vacation Town...

Damn it all- I had a fairly long post going and suddenly it all vanished! And I am back to an empty page that merely suggests for me to repopulate with words, witticisms, and whatever else that may flow from my mind vomit and onto the page. You poor reader you! I had a really good spring break, just enough spring and maybe could use a few more days break! Today was Kevin's day off of work so we walked down to McGee beach with the dogs. Kevin and I played catch and I played fetch with Tharnsby. I am a little sunburned but I don't mind. I went swimming and it was awesome. I can't help but think that no matter how old or young you are everyone plays in the ocean the same way. We splash into and tumble around in the waves. I love the ocean and I know the few rules of the ocean if there are any. Swim with the tide if your caught in a rip tide, wear sunscreen, sand WILL get everywhere, and last but not least if you feel something don't freak out. If you feel something and you know it's alive- don't freak out; if you feel something alive and it hurts- don't freak out until it hurts a lot or you see blood. You probably just pissed off a crab- oh and that reminds me of another rule, don't reach out and pick stuff up that you don't know what it is...Anyway, crabs only hurt a pinch. So what do you do if you live in a vacation town that people come to in order to get away from stuff, just act like your on vacation too. The seafood is good and the beach is even better.

  1. I'm glad you enjoyed your Spring Break. I went up to the windy city of Chicago and learned that the "windy" stands for "windy politics" instead of the "windy" we associate here with the ocean. I like pretending I'm a tourist as well in Corpus, but when I'm about to purchase something in Port Aransas, I disclose that I live here. This usually gets me a discount:-) I can only pretend so far until it affects my pocketbook.

  2. Sounds like you had a great break :) I agree with you, I think everyone pretty much enjoys the beach in much the same way. I just wish the people coming here for vacation would remember that the rules of the road don't go on vacation, too.
