Corpus Christi

This evening I am flying back from Corpus Christi, TX. Listening to newly added music while trying not to think how high up I am in the clouds, I felt this would be the perfect time to work on my blog having neglected it for a while. I was in Texas visiting a friend and his roommates/newlyweds for the week. Never visiting before I loved the area! During my trip I experienced the beach, paddle boarding, a baseball game, the boat, good food, and wonderful conversation.

            Landing in Corpus Christi I was not surprised that some of the first things I noticed were open fields, big trucks, and country music being played somewhere-everywhere. I enjoyed the whole Texan experience because really, there are no rules in Texas.  I particularly saw this on the beach I visited. Stretching from flying all morning my friend and I decided to catch up walking around on one of the beaches close to the house. There, he explained to me while driving right up to the water how people camp, have bonfires and drink openly on the sand. Something I found funny since Charleston beaches are very strict with countless rules. 

            Staying for a few days right on the water we took full advantage of the kayaks we rented that could be used as stand up paddleboards!  Enjoying the different perspective of the houses fitted tightly together and seeing the types of fish-so close up I enjoyed paddling around with the sun for the afternoon. Sitting here next to my window, with new freckles and having enjoyed the great company from these last few days I had a great first visit. I hope to see Texas again sometime. The culture and relaxed feel of where I was, was just what I was hoping for.

I think back over the last few months and how much traveling I have done. This has turned out to be a very enjoyable summer (as how all summers should be). Spending most of today getting back home to Charleston I am starting to feel anxious to see my friends. It was hard trying to leave work alone while being away-but I take that as being a good thing. I am looking forward to seeing where my company Pretty Little Things will head in the next few months. Due to work, I know I won’t be traveling as much for a while and I am okay with having this strong sense Charleston is where I need to be right now. I am anticipating the start of crossing off goals and to see where this will all go. I only hope that Charleston is ready...
