Vacation Days 5 and 6 - South Padre Island

This is truly a relaxing vacation.   Not much going on, so no reason to do a blog post everyday.

So Sunday, which is the first full day on South Padre Island, we slept in until about 10.   Then we lazed around, walked on the beach for a bit, and took a nap for an hour or so.   We then got up, cleaned up, and went out to Pirates Landing for Dinner.   I got Kim to get a drink so we could get the free glass.  I was driving, so I couldn't have the drink.  The meal was good.   I had the shrimp and fish platter, she had the shrimp basket.   We then came back to the condo and relaxed for the evening.

Monday, today, I got up around 8am, and Kim got up a little after that.   She went back to bed for a couple hours, and I took a nap for an hour.    After waking up from that, I actually threw on the running shoes and did a slow jog for a bit.   It felt good, but I can tell that I am waaaaaaaaaaaay out of shape.   Ran just over half an hour and walked back that distance on the beach.   Came back and relaxed until mid afternoon.   Then cleaned up and went out for a drive.   We drove north on the main road until it stopped at the sand dunes.  It was kinda cool to see all the dunes and shrubs.  We then turned around, washed the car, and then had pizza.   The pizza was good, although it could have been left in the oven maybe two minutes longer to make it perfect.   Now we are back in the room relaxing for the evening.

I plan on getting up tomorrow morning early to see the sunrise.  Our balcony looks over the gulf, so I am sure it will be an awesome sight.   Dinner tomorrow night is at a place called Louis' that is supposed to be a really good buffet.   I think I am going to also try and get out for exercise again.   Who knows, maybe this will turn into a regular thing again.  Maybe.
