Seriously, I just don't know what people are talking about when they say, "I just don't like Texas beaches". I've heard it a lot actually and it wasn't until last week when I visited Padre Island and Port Aransas with Momma Brooks that I was able to get the authority to respond to a line like that with, "what the hell is wrong with you?" It's true, there is no "surfer dude" about it but there is a lot to love on from a Texas beach. Why if you want to:
... stalk some neat looking birds like this one....
or learn about neat ocean things from a ranger who knows...
or see the release of the world's most endangered sea turtles (the Ridley sea turtle) when they are only 24 hours old and smaller than the size of a silver dollar...
or walk aboard the "Blue Ghost" - the U.S.S. Lexington - aircraft carrier...
or get a close up look at a Portuguese Man-of-War...
Well then I suggest that you take a trip down to the gulf with a kite and a different expectation than what you may have gone to San Diego with. Don't worry you can still get a dynamite shrimp taco there.
Oh and one last thing....captions for this photo anyone?

Cate, this is awesome. Quite awesome in fact and no comment can do it justice.
I want to hear more about that man-of-war.
Padre looks nice! I haven't been there yet. I've been to Galveston but it is so polluted it smells awful!
We need to hang out once more before I leave!
Another reason to love Texas beaches: the water is warm. I spent two years in Corpus Christi and it was the greatest thing ever. I also learned how to peel shrimp at the tender age of 4. Booyah!
and these are great photos.
