Memorial Day Weekend 2007

Got up at 7AM.  Stopped at McDonald's in Austin for breakfast, then drove down.  Only stopped once...somewhere in the middle of nowhere at crazy taxidermy ridiculously long line for restroom gas station.  Filled up tank, popped open first beer of the day (10:30AM) and got back on the road.  (Adrienne was driving, not me)  :) 

Weather was great the whole drive but slightly overcast.  Just as we got into Corpus Christi, it started pouring.  Stopped at Walmart for bathrooms, condiments, and hair clips.

Rode the pathetic little ferry for all of 2 minutes (if that) across the ship channel to Port Aransas.  Found hotel and checked in early at about 1PM.  Got unpacked and walked to the beach.  It was miserable, windy, and overcast so we didn't stay.  Went to Sharkey's and had a drink.  Met Jenny, the bartender from Dallas, and she let us wander around the nightclub downstairs, which doesn't open until 8.  We decide it looks cool and we will come  back that night.  We leave to head for another bar, and wait!  The sun is out!  Back to the hotel to pack a cooler and head out to the beach.

Hung out at the beach for a while, had some beers, built a sandcastle.  Pretty uneventful and relaxing.  Headed back to the hotel to shower and get dressed.  Dinner at Moby Dick's (stuffed crab & shrimp-yum) then drinks and dancing at Sharkey's.  Met a group of guys (John, James, Luis, Jerry(?), and Noel) from San Antonio and hung out with them most of the night.  Revealing doors on the bathroom stalls and $1 jello shots!  Stayed til it closed at 2AM.  Headed back to the hotel, made a hot dog in the microwave, and passed out.
