South Padre Island

Now that we're settled in sunny Houston, it's time to get caught up!

After 2 months of studying for the TX bar with all of these fun books, and as a reward for surviving the actual 3-day marathon exam, and before beginning "real life" as a lawyer,
we decided Rob had earned some serious R&R.  So we hopped in our trusty Camry and headed down to South Padre Island, an island of white sand beaches and very little stress. 
We spent about 4.5 days playing paddle ball on the beach,
and soaking up the sun by the gorgeous pool, taking breaks for me to shellac Rob in UNO and have him return the favor with a game (or three) of Sequence. 
We went for quick dips in the chilly ocean,
Enjoyed long walks on the beach,
And by the end of our stay were (mostly) ready to get back in the car and see what "real life" is going be like!

That stack of books looks just horrible. Congrats Rob, for surviving the exams!

Congrats, Rob! And to Christa! I'm sure you had a lot of lonely nights while he studied. I am so glad that you are back in Houston and enjoying the sunshine. Remember how dark England was? I still miss it, even if it was a little dark and wet. I am so glad that you guys took off and celebrated -- sounds like a perfect vacation. We miss you like crazy!
