The weather was kind of nasty. Cold. Overcast. Rainy. I didn't get to go fishing although one day I did go with my grandfather to pick up ghost shrimp for bait. That was "interesting".
The minute I arrived in Corpus I was whisked away for a cook out. Barely had time to say hello before heading off to see a bunch of people I don't know. Now for those who don't know me, I do not like to be around a lot of people I don't know. Takes me way out of my comfort zone. I was way outside of it!!!!! But my grandparents and my aunts and uncles were also there. It was funny when I saw my Uncle Joe for the first time, in YEARS, he tells me "Girl! You are WHITE!!" Definite emphasis on the white. LOL! I can't help it!!! The only thing I inherited from the mexican side was my dark curly hair, my big booty, and my love for the food!!!! I just laugh it off!
I got to spend a lot of quality time with my grandparents. It was nice especially since I didn't get to see that much of them back in May when I had gone home to visit! They have a nice one bedroom condo on one of the diversion canals. Here's a picture from their balcony:
We did go down to the sea wall on Saturday for a walk. I got to take pictures with my grandparents. Aren't they cute?
I have to admit that the best part of the vacation was to be "babied" by my grandparents. I didn't have to take care of anything. They took care of everything. I didn't have to make any decisions or do anything but enjoy myself. That was great. Been a long time since I could do that! I'm thinking I need to find the time to visit family more often!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time and I am sure your grandparents loved looking after you.
sounds like a good break was had and sometimes being looked after by someone else is just the best holiday.
Good for you to take a break from life's craziness and go see some family. It sounds like you enjoyed yourself and it was nice to read that you were 'happy'.
Sounds like a great time!
