The Texas Coast – Beach House

We made a quick stop at my family’s house in Austin to drop off 5 of the babies then loaded the big 3 into the van and headed for the Texas Coast. This would be their first time to see the ocean (well, Gulf if you want to be exact.) They couldn’t wait. It was a grueling 3 hour drive for them!

Next stop Surfside Beach!

Then there it was. All that water.

And even though it was the Texas coast and not the white ones of Alabama or Florida, I loved this view, watching my babies feast their eyes for the first time on that great expanse of ocean and sand.

The Smiley Pirate is the name of the house we rented. I never figured out why.

It was almost as fun as seeing the beach for the first time watching these 3 explore such a fun house.

It was perfectly beachy. The Beach House. The place you can get away with “Tacky.” The place where all the nick nacks and all the “now where in the world would I ever put something like that?” items go to live. I loved it!
