Vacation on the Texas Coast

VIEW FROM THE FRONT DECK OF OUR CONDO

We just got back from our first vacation ever with my husband's side of the family. It was great to see this little coastal town through their eyes. We rented both sides of a luxurious, secluded condo. Each side has 3 bedrooms (including a loft with a private balcony), 2 baths and a fully equipped kitchen. The deck connected each side to the other and a row of deck chairs provided a full view of the beach. My immediate family is used to the seclusion but the rest of them had never been to such a great place with so few people. The people we did meet were interesting and friendly (Thank you LCRA for the animal rescue show and to Cattails for the local artist displays and the coffee bar). We took turns cooking and then went out to eat in a nearby town the last night. The first night, I cooked garlic shrimp with pasta and bruschetta and the second night, my sister-in-law made fajitas with all the '"trimmings". We mostly just relaxed at the beach or pool, watched movies or just sat together on the deck admiring our view. We have already made plans for next summer.
