After living at least eight hours away from my mom and dad for over ten years, by chance we have both landed ourselves in Texas, an hour and fifteen minutes away from each other without even trying!  They recently moved to the coast of Texas, which happens to be really beautiful.  I had no idea...did you?  Since the ocean is my favorite place in the world, this works out great for me!  To take advantage,  this weekend we loaded the pups and headed south so we could put our toes in the sand and feel the ocean breeze on our skin.  The weekend was full of beautiful views, great food, SEC football, and family time.
