Corpus Christi Day 2: Padre Balli Beach and Texas State Aquarium

For our final day in Corpus, we started out by hitting up the Padre Balli Beach in North Padre Island. Andrew had lots of fun making a sand castle complete with a moat--thanks to Daddy's mad skills. Then, we spent the rest of the time jumping the waves and playing in the water.

After the beach, we drove back into town to Taqueria Acapulco, which we frequented quite a bit when we lived here. I still cannot find a pastor taco as good as here!! Oh, how I had missed this place!!

Next, we went back to the hotel room to shower and pack up. After we checked out, we headed to our last stop on our trip--the Texas State Aquarium. James and I reminisced about had we taken Stephanie and Thomas here so many years ago and here we were taking Andrew now. We had a nice time looking at all the exhibits and animals. Andrew also got to hold a sea urchin, pet a sea turtle, and touch some stingrays. We also let him play in the splashpad for a little while until the start of the dolphin show.

Then, it was time to head back to Houston. It was a wonderful getaway. We had such a fun time and it was awesome family time!! I am glad we finally did it. And I hope we get to do it again!
