we're in corpus! the trip that i've been wanting to take for so long is actually happening. there were two major reasons i wanted to come here:
1) my godparents live here. since we moved from corpus when i was 1, obviously i'm not as close to them as i would like to be. but i try to make the most of any chance i get to visit. i heart them!
2) joe cotten's. nestled in what could easily be described as a very scary city (robstown), joe cotten's has been serving up the best barbeque i've ever eaten. EVER. and no, i'm not exaggerating. like i said before, i'm a big fan of the sauce. in fact, if i could bottle it up and bring it home, i would.
well, as you can imagine, i was pretty excited about this trip. when we drove into town, we immediately headed to robstown to chow down on some serious barbeque. however, it was not meant to be. the completely empty parking was clue #1. the sign on the door that read "closed until july 7th" was clue #2. we come back home on the 6th. oh, the mourning and wailing that ensued. ok, not really, but we were all extremely bummed about this finding. not cool, man. not cool.
we have decided not to let it ruin our trip (but really, july 7th? come on...). tonight we had delicious seafood at a placed called waterstreet seafood restaurant. afterward we went driving around town while mom and dad showed us places they were familiar with while they lived here. it was actually pretty neat seeing where they met (del mar college) and where they lived (actually that was downright scary). we even drove by the hospital where i was born. i suggested a tour of that historical place, but sadly my idea was vetoed. whatever. we are planning a trip to the beach, and of course, at least a meal with my godparents and family. i would prefer more time with them, but we'll see how that goes. since the heart-breaking news about joe cotten's, i'm not holding out much hope for me getting my way.
i know, i know, i'm dramatic. however, i'm still happy to be here! pictures will be coming!
(don't hold your breath though. we all know i'm on my own timetable when it comes to posting pictures.)
