Memorial Day Trip

I loaded the kiddos in the car and made the 7 hour drive down to Rockport for Memorial Day. Jonathan had to work so he flew in and out of Corpus. Although, I'm not sure he really missed spending 14 hours in the car with a toddler and preschooler. All things considered, the kids did really good on the trip....the DVD player and endless snacks helped. ;)

We had a lot of fun in Rockport! William LOVED it, he said he wanted to stay there forever. Logan had a good time too, he was just into everything. We did the usual....tried to fly a kite, went to the beach, went swimming in the pool, fished, tried to crab, walked on the long pier in Fulton, went to see the Big Tree, went on a boat ride, watched kite surfers, bought a souvenir shell at Treasure Island and checked out the shrimping boats. I asked William what his favorite part of the trip was and he insisted that he could not pick just one thing.

We found out that Logan was not a fan of the pool, I think it was a little cold for him. He also HATED the beach. He kept walking off towards the car saying, "Go, Go, Go." I'm not a big beach person either, so Logan and I left William and Jonathan at the beach while we went back to the condo to cool off.

My favorite line of the trip came one day when William just wouldn't nap. I was worried he would wake everyone up so I loaded him in the car and we went to a couple of stores. As we were driving I said, "William aren't you really tired?" His response, "No mommy, my body wants to fish!"
