Last week was my 15th Anniversary so my Husband and I took off to the beach. Our first stop was Padre Island. Actually my husband was lucky enough to get a load to south Texas so I followed on the trip down and lucked out to get to go see Padre Island too. I figure since Oklahoma doesn't have the Ocean that south Texas is the best we can get. It is a nice trip, you can drive down in a day and have a nice weekend getaway. If you feel the need to getaway from Oklahoma.
Me in the Gulf, the first time I ever got to see the Ocean was in 2004, I was 27 years old. I use any excuse to go to the coast now. I can't get enough. I love everything about it. The sound of the waves and the sand.
Growing up on the Plains.... we kind of missed out on the waves and beach in Nebraska. I even let my husband hold the camera so I could play in the surf... and sand. I have to admit that stingrays and jellyfish make me skittish.

So being able to drive the car on the beach was cool too.... Especially the Garmin that didn't seem to mind how close she was to floating away.
Playing around with editing photos... looking back in black and white.

Too much fun in the ocean.. the weather was perfect. The children were at school in Oklahoma and we had a nice little weekend. More photos to come. Not of the Expedition Oklahoma type, but of the I actually went on vacation type.
Beautiful photos! It looks like you had fun on your anniversary sans the kids. Congratulations on 15 years with the hubs!
