Here is the rest of the story about our vaca to the coast....
Who knew the ice cream man would be on the beach?
Our first dinner was with Dexter, Sherry, Aaron, Drew and Brenden! Dex had caught a Mahi Mahi so we had Spaghetti Works cook up a mess of it for the whole family. It was delish!
Too bad the other Adams crew were on their last day of vaca and we were on our first day.
We missed hanging out with them.... maybe we can coordinate better next year!
Mr JoeByrd OneWord, Wade (the trip coordinator.... thanks so much Wade you did good) and Mr KD at Pier 37 where we went out on our bay fishing trips. This is actually on North Padre or basically at the end of Mustang Island. We met some awesome Bay fishing guides and everyone caught lots of fish!
Crazy Cousins at the Crazy Cajun... note the sunburned faces.... we had fished all day!
All the boys aboard the Pelican, headed out for a day of deep sea fishing! They're all smiling now, about 1 hour later some of them were pitchin their cookies. The seas were pretty rough going out! Pake, Kyler, Tate and Hunter all got sea sick, but they all reeled in some great fish and they all still say they will go back.
My sick boys.... not too fun and it's not like you can just go back when you're 30 miles out!
KD caught a Durado which is a fairly rare catch. John was our deck hand and come to find out he's a teacher too! Plus he's taught Credit Recovery... crazy small world... we had some great chats about school in between some great fishing!
KD also caught a Hammerhead shark. It weighed in at 80 lbs!
We had a crew of 11 on a chartered boat (which basically means we had the whole boat and crew all to ourselves). Deep Sea Headquarters took care of us again... we limited out on Red Snapper and Atlantic Sharp Nose Shark. I wish I had a picture with my FAT Sow Momma Red Snapper because I just KNOW (lol) I had to have caught the biggest one!
Pake was Mr Sharkman.... he caught 3 in a row!
This is Mr Ed Gibhardt he did a happy dance on the boat everytime he caught a good fish... mind you he caught a shark too (but we couldn't keep it since we already had KD's in the boat)... This guy is a hoot and we had so much fun with him!
Our last day in Port A was a day of resting, see we had fished for 3 days straight... that means getting up before 5 and getting on the water at 6. Each day ended up being at least 10 hours. So we were tired. We took the boys down to the beach though for a couple hours so they could boogie board.
And then it happened faster than you can snap your fingers, we were on the ferry coming home =(
Adios Port A... until next year! We hope ;)
