We stayed at the Key Lime Cottage about a mile from the beach
It was the start of a yearly tradition – a vacation with the Gath Family (Court’s sister Lindsay and Eisley’s cousins). We rented the “Key Lime Cottage” in Port Aransas, Texas for 4 days.
The trip started off with a 6 hour road trip, made extra long by 9 stops along the way. In addition to pausing for lunch, Finley (Eisley’s cousin) was in the middle of potty training and several bathroom stops were needed.
We arrived at the cottage around 4:00 and took a quick dip in the pool while Mike went to pick up the key. Then we loaded up and headed to the beach while the sun went down. The kids played in the sand and Eisley dipped her toes in the ocean for the first time.
We spent day 2 at the beach doing typical beach activities: playing in the waves, digging in the sand and building sand castles. After we grew tired of the sun and sand, Mike and I took Bryson to the bait shop to get some shrimp for fishing. Our plan was to take Bryson on his first fishing trip. With his Spiderman fishing pole in tow, Bryson helped us find a fishing spot on Mustang Island. We didn’t catch any fish — the sea turtles kept stealing our bait. At least they got fed well.
Day 3 was another trip to the beach for a repeat of day 2. This time we left a bit earlier because the plan was to eat dinner out. We chose a place called Fin’s, which turned out to be not so good. The seafood selection was limited and what we did choose was so overseasoned it was almost inedible.
On day 4 we packed up our stuff and left the beach. Lindsay and Mike headed back to Round Rock while Courtney, Patti and I made our way to Corpus Christi to the Texas State Aquarium. We spent a couple hours there then found a BBQ place for lunch. Then it was back to Austin and the end of our trip.
I loved the video…thanks so much for sharing!

You can really tell that Eisley LOVES the water. She looks so excited to be in the sand and waves. I love that she doesn’t seem to mind getting dirty and really enjoys everything so much.
