Our Corpus Christi Weekend Getaway

This Friday I got the distinct pleasure of working in Pleasanton, Texas...lucky me, huh?  So  I headed down South about 45 minutes and worked at a great Wag.  We headed to Corpus with puppies and Cory after work so that they could hunt and I could hang out at the beach.  Brandon/Tucker and Cory/Jack hunted early in the morning so Buckley and I got Emily/Doggie morning on Shoreline Blvd.  We watched the birds, walked the walk, checked out tons of boats and had a great relaxing morning.

Me and Buckley, awesome morning

After the boys got back from the hunt we played on the beach; Buckley LOVED the water and the waves!  Tucker was absolutely thrilled to enter the salty goodness of ocean if you threw a bumper in for him.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't great so we didn't get to enjoy the water...

 But these two puppies jumped in again and again

 Tucker loves his bumper

My two big little swimmers, they slept like babies that night.

 Even without the sun it was so bright!

Second try, I love this boy!

During our outing at the beach Dan and Hannah met up with us and then we went to eat at Grimaldi's Coal Brick Oven Pizza.  It was excellent, we had an assortment of Cold Adult Beverages, Cesar Salad, and a HUGE calzone.  Good times.  Hannah and I then struck out to find the U.S.S. Lexington:

 A boy scout took this picture in the Bridge

 Flight Deck=AWESOME, cool helicopter

We just thought we were cool cause we got in (free!) 45 minutes before the museum closed.  

Just so you know, the stairs to get to the flight deck are VERY steep and the Bridge is even steeper.  We decided it would be tough to live on this boat but we want to come back to see more!
For dinner we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings and UFC fight night.
We came back to San Antonio today and ended out weekend with Christmas Card pictures!

Tomorrow we prepare for TURKEY DAY!
Happy Thanksgiving Week!

At the end of the Park take a right...

I had the BEST time this past week with my lovely mother in BOSTON (Bahston)!  I started my Wednesday morning EARLY, try 4:30 at the airport early.  Yes, it was awesome (the flight was nearly empty; I slept the whole way to the ATL.  Then I scrambled to the gate that changed just like every departing flight in the ATL airport to meet the beautiful Rhonda Bovine.  And off we were to Boston!  On our list of things to do: Eat at Legal Sea Foods, visit Faneuil Hall, Shop at Filene's Basement, check out the great architecture all over, eat Italian looking at the North Church, see Paul Revere's house, eat a cannoli at Mike's Pastry Shop at the North End, figure out the T, see Harvard, travel the Freedom Trail and the list continues.  I can tell you it was a great trip from start to finish, I only wanted to come home because the hubs is in TX, of course, and it was so cold.  So here's a little peak at our trip!
  The Lobster I tackled at Legal Sea Foods!


Outside the Old North church in the North End was Paul Revere's Mall.  It was a nifty building that looked renovated and lived in.  How COOL is that?!  Literally LIVING where history was made!  Anyway then we went to MIKE's 
Check this out:



The famous box: unfortunately there is no picture of the actual tasty dessert but, trust me, it was awesome.  Before we ate the dessert we did have dinner: Bruschetta, VINO, Lobster Ravioli it was awesome at Cafe Florentine!  By the end of the second day we had the T figured out and we could get where we wanted when we wanted.  Then...I was coming back to the hotel on the green line and all of a sudden the train stopped and did not restart.  Oh, and by the way, it was the most crowded I had ever seen the train...The announcer then said the train wasn't running, the Boston police and fire departments were on the scene.  Oh lovely!  So I headed out through the Make Way for Ducklings exhibit in the Park.  Loved it!   The way home was fairly flawless and definitely warmer here in TX! 
Thank you Mom for inviting me!  I had a great time!
