Port Aransas - Family Vacation May 2017


We took a family beach trip in May to Port Aransas.  This was Eli's 2nd time (but first real one, was less than a year old the first time we went), and Everley's first trip.  It was fun to share the love of the beach, waves, and ocean life with the littles.  Plus it was my old stomping grounds.  Loved our first summer vacation of 2017!!

Could the car be more packed?!?!?  Hit the Beach and Sun our Buns!!  (Just a little saying I grew up with).

We made it!!  First family pic on the beach.  WooHOO!!!!!


Shade time with my little cuddle bug!! 


Navigating through the seaweed to get to the waves!!  She loved them.




Loved our location and setup!  We stayed at a new condo (resort style, for Port A at least) called the "Palmilla".  Great location, umbrellas already set up, play area for the kids, and air conditioned bathrooms.  And lets not forget complimentary Popsicle at the beach and pool!!




Our walk down the boardwalk down to the beach.  Eli loved sprinting down.  Looked like he was experiencing freedom for the first time - ha!





Trying for a family pic
My sweet boy!















If this isn't real life, I dont know what is - LOL!  Trying to get a family pic before our Family dinner in the marina.... 




The Air Conditioned bathroom!!

Everley's first taste of the sweet nectar called Ice Cream ... I think she is a fan ;)



I'm loving all of these pictures at our favorite ice cream store.  Partly because of Everley's facial expressions in each one and striving for the next bite ... ;)







Love my mama (and this cinnamon ice cream).  Love that she was able to accompany us on our first family beach trip.  I grew up going to South Padre as a kid, which instilled my innate love for the water.  So this was only fitting.  THanks for coming Mom!!


Pooltime during Nap Time - My Happy Place!!  And this pool was AHHMAZZZZING!

My sweet, sweet girl.  I didn't think she could get any blonder ... and then we went to the beach.  Love her!!


 Beach Shade, Cool Shades, and Snacks!  My kind of life!


Loved that the condo provided toys for the kids on the beach!










Condo Shenanigans!

Happy Birthday to Me!!  We celebrated my 33rd birthday in Port A - such a fun memory!





Who enjoyed the Cupcakes more?!?!?








Once again ... this pool!!  We always came to the pool after naps in the afternoon, it was such a good change from the sand in the morning. I will never stay anywhere else in Port A.  We found our beach home!





Eli loves all animals.  Even birds.  So of course he LOVED chasing and feeding the seagulls any chance he could get.


My ice cream date with my sweet boy.


Can you guess what is in this?!?!  Mama's perfect beach spritzer ... or just Rose!! ;)
Love them playing together so sweetly.  They are the best brother/sister duo.








She is becoming a total Daddy's girl.  And she LOVED jumping the baby waves.




Our last day on the beach.  So glad we went during the week when it was totally empty, now look at it.  Too much for me, but I completely enjoyed our time while we were there.
Bye Beach!  You will always hold a special place in my heart, and glad I could share this love with my precious littles.  Until next time!
