Michael goes to the beach
Well, really, the whole family went but the best time of all was definitely had by Mike (and he also takes the best pictures).
Quintana Beach, TX may not be the most beautiful beach on earth but with our rental looking straight out over the ocean (and with just a bit of a squint to block out that oil rig out there) we could just pretend that if we turned around we didn't see a sci-fi-esque city of oil refinery pipes. And so what if the Stop and Shop we headed to for groceries was actually a run down, take your money behind the plexiglass type of convenience store or the only place to eat breakfast was Shipley Donuts (we're still bloated) or that the nicest restaurant within a 20 mile radius was Johnny Carino's (where we went for anniversary dinner). We slept to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and spent a couple lazy days eating late lunches over the ocean, with eachother, and two four-legged friends. We're one year in and I couldn't love my husband more - mwah, mwah baby! We've had lotsa changes as of late (more on that later) but for now...it's Michael's moment.
Contemplating life...
