The parents and I ventured to Corpus Christi Sun-Wed. It was super relaxing and alot of fun. I was a little apprehensive before we left, though. I am, after all, married and should be living my own life and not living off my parents as a third wheel on a beach vacation. Sometimes I still felt bad that they still paid for everything I did, but we had alot of fun. The beach was amazing. There was alot of people watching to be done and my tan got some help.
Memorable things from CC:
1. Orange shorts girl - skin tight orange shorts that were so short her ass was hanging out. Her mother was wearing a matching pair in a larger size.
2. Hot bikini mama - people in CC have no shame. There was no shortage of overweight women cavorting around on the beach in bikinis. They would even lay out to work on their tan.
3. Dog torture lady - this old woman would drag her ancient dog into the waves even when he pulled as hard as he could toward the shore. She pulled him out so far that he looked like a drowning black blob.
4. Tiny sighting - there was a younger version of Tine on the beach with a large couple!
5. Cold breakfast - nothing in the Hampton Inn breakfast (coffee, waffles, sausage, eggs, etc.) was ever hot. You were lucky if it was lukewarm.
6. Shrimp eyes - Mom ordered boiled/bawled shrimp our first night in CC at a local seafood joint. She was expecting a shrimp cocktail type thing. She got a basket full of shrimp carcasses complete with eyeballs, tentacles, and legs. They looked like they crawled out of the ocean, into a pot, and then hopped into her basket. She may never recover.
7. Free food - we stayed in a suite with a wet bar type thing. There were cabinets under the sink and microwave and I, being the nosy person I am, checked the cabinets. In the smaller cabinet I found unopened powdered donuts, 2 packages of goldfish crackers, 2 packages of Jolly Rancher gummy candy, and 1 package of Lifesavers gummy candy. We lived off these snacks for our entire vacation.
8. Negro invasion - we stopped in Fredericksburg on the way home to get gifts for the Ivy's and Sally. We ate at a place on the main drag. Unbeknownst to us when we got ourselves on the wait list and entire tour group - complete with nametags - of African-Americans from San Antonio were also dining in this restaurant. I'll let you imagine what ensued. I don't want to sound racist so I'll stop there.
9. Rustlin' Rob's - this place is heaven! They sell a plethora of sauces, jams, dips, salsas, etc, etc and every single one is open for you to sample. They have crackers everywhere and you can eat everything they have for sale. I'll remember that place the next time I pass through there.
I suppose 9 is enough. I was planning on writing more after this but I suddenly got really tired. Perhaps I'll write about today tomorrow. Goodnight.
