Road Trip on Memorial Day

Since Mike had a day off, we had to get on the road. 
We decided to go explore some of the Texan beaches.  
We drove to Freeport (not nice at all, hated it!)
We stopped at Surfside Beach (about 1h1/2 from Houston). 
Not going there again! I like Galveston beach a whole lot better!
We spent the night in Port Lavaca
There, the beaches are inland, no surf or soft sand. 
We then drove to Port O'Connor, to Rockport, where it started to look a lot nicer.  
From there we took a ferry to go to Port Aransas.
Nice beach, sand and surf!
Looks more like Florida.
It's on Mustang Island that connects to the well known and visited Padre Island
It is a 4 to 5 hour drive from Houston, and well worth the time. 
Unfortunately, we were only there for a few hours before we had to head home... 
Now we know where to go to find nicer beaches.
That's Justine and Amelie in the waves behind Mike...
I can't wait to go back and go further south to Padre Island.
