so, i was quite relieved when we arrived at the microtel in aransas pass on thursday. i chose it for three reasons 1) price ($55 each night...$124 for both nights...ACE) 2)location - 10 minutes from ferry and 3) i've always been pleased with the microtel we frequent on i-10 to mississippi. anyhoot...i was relieved b/c it was just as nice as the pictures and super-duper clean. the breakfast was great too. i really have a thing about staying in hotels - regardless of the price. i don't like sleeping in beds that have hosted who knows who or what. i've even considered buying one of those bed sock things that you take with you. it's like a sleeping bag for hotel beds. anyway...we'll stay there again...it was great.
AYE the mosquitoes! they were horrid! poor m looks like she has leprosy!
on friday, we went for a drive after breakfast. the microbrewery where i want us to have lunch (and sample some of their wares, of course) was closed until the 25th! we drove around looking for a good beach spot and found a big pier...walked up and down (the smell was putrid, btw...lots of fisherman...yuck) we stopped at a beachy store and bought hats (b had fit #1) anyhoot...we had lunch at a local pizzeria. it was delish...then we were off the to beach. we ended up staying near the pier (the stench was apparently just on/around the pier). the kids loved the water. we met a nice lady who brough over a sack of bread so they could feed the birds. fit #2 was when we had to leave the beach. friday evening we went to pelican's landing and had some terrific shrimps...b had fit #3 b/c he "wasn't hungry". then we found deserted island ice cream company. mightee fine, i must say.
on saturday, we got up and went to the texas aquarium. b had fit #4 b/c he didn't want to leave the hotel room. it was great (the aquarium, not the fit). we saw a dolphin show...fit #5...then we let the kids play on the playground...altho the mosquitoes were so horrible we had to cut that short...fit #6 ensued...
so...w and i tried to have a nice, relaxing time...that is...between fits...so we're back home now and the unpacking has begun...
in summary
#1 microtel good, mosquitoes bad
#2 you can please some bennetts some of the time, some bennetts most of the time...but you can't please all bennetts all the time
#3 vacays are always good...no matter what...
