Brief vacation trip to north Padre Island, Corpus Christi, Texas.  We spent an afternoon at Malaquite Beach in the national seashore. This little submarine is outside our favorite kitschy souvenir store.
Saturday morning walks on Padre Island, shell hunting, watching the sunrise. #LifeAtExpedia

This is an easily assessable spot in Corpus Christy, just underneath Bob Hall Pier. Would be great for portraits.
