Here are some various pics from the first day....We left Houston around 12ish sat am/fri night. We wanted to try to have at least part of our trip without non stop talking from Hailey. She went to bed and we finished packing up. When we were ready to leave we got her out of bed and laid her in her car seat and went on our way. Unfortunately.....I woke up with a virus wed before our vacation and lost my voice....so our trip was going well (except for me not being able to sleep) when I started coughing my head off (glenne says it was him stopping to get me tea) about 345am and could not stop with the liquid I had in the car. Luckily we were in a "civilized" area and saw a Denny's off the highway. Glenne stopped and got me some tea with lemon and honey. As soon as he stopped she woke up.....we kept telling her it was too early and she needed to sleep or just not talk. Amazingly...she fell for this and was quiet till we got to South Padre Island and we got her out to see the sunset.
The pictures are out of order....sorry.
The view from our balcony
the view from our doorway into our home for the week
our bathroom
Our bedroom...its a queen..the matress was very soft. We missed our bed(king..not so soft!)
Hailey's bedroom....after we rearranged it so that she did not roll out of the bed when sleeping.
The kitchen...dining area
The living room area....
Here are the sunset pictures....We got to the island around 630am. We parked next to our place and there was a beach access right there. We parked and got out to wait for the sun to rise. It took all we had to not let Hailey run in the sand. We could not check in for quite a few hours and did not want to deal with sandy toddler.

Sun breaking thru and finally coming up....
One of the crabs that comes out at night....he must have been a stradler and was finding a way underground when we were waiting for the sunrise.
early sunrise............................

No sun yet.....trying to explain to a TODDLER that the sun will come up over where it is dark...hahahahha ( a toddler that has been up since 345am..but slept for about 45 min at some point in there)
There is more to come.......She did say....wwwwoooowww....when she realized that the sky was getting lighter. She kept seeing a few people on the beach..fishing or watching the sunrise and she noticed that more then the actual sunrise. I hate to say she gets that from me, I am always seeing the little things going on. uuuggghhh!!!
