The TEXAS COAST

The Texas Coast

This year we wanted to go somewhere for vacation but on a budget.  We love the beach and had a wonderful time last year on the California Coast.  So we decided to take a trip the the Texas Coast.  Maybe next year we will be going to the East Coast! 

We were so pleasantly surprised!  I have been many times before as a child but I remembered it very differently.  We had a wonderful time and stayed at a beautiful historic hotel that I would recommend to anybody.  Even though it was a known haunted hotel (known to everyone but me.)

Maya got stung by a jellyfish (what do we expect in Texas) best medicine is vinegar.


Looking for sea shells and found so many cool ones (including a huge conch and sand dollar)
