This was our first family trip alone to South Padre Island! In fact, it is the first time Scott and I have gone on a week-long trip together since we were married almost 10 years ago.
It was an extremely relaxing and fun week for everyone. Ramsey especially loved the beach. As soon as he saw the ocean he started "talking" to it and pointing "ocean" and "beach". The temps were around 70, and the water a bit cold, but it didn't bother Ramsey. All the old folks walking up and down the beach got a kick out of seeing Ramsey run into the water and chase the birds.
We went to the bird sanctuary and saw a pretty nice variety of egrets, pelicans, and herons. There was also an alligator. We went to the Brownsville zoo, where they had a crocodile statue that Ramsey say on for a half hour shouting out "crocky-DILE" at the top of his lungs.
The favorite restaurant was Daddy's, a Cajun restaurant where we tried frog legs, craw fish, and alligator. We found a pier to watch the sunset. Overall, the island is not too built up and not too touristy. It has the longest stretch of undeveloped beach in the U.S.
Some other funny sayings from Ramsey this week were: "Don't worry Mommy", "Treatchery Treat" (for Sesame Street), "Sunglasses" (very into putting them on his face).
