Corpus Christi Beach Trip

About 2 weeks ago (the day after we put our house on the market), we took a trip to the beach with our best friends and cousins. Not too bad of a drive when you get to fly by at 85 mph!

Chris is a professional photographer, and so naturally~ we all planned on taking beachy photos together before we headed home.

Priceless.

85 mph?!? That's crazy.

Kaia said...

Super cute of the kids on the beach and looks like great family pics, too!

Missi said...

Wish our drive to the beach took 6.5 hours. Major traffic jams & 14 hours later (NW Ark to Gulf Shores) we arrived. 85MPH, WOW!! That'd be nice.
Good to hear you already have 2 offers on the house. Congrats!
