A Day at the Beach that Didn't Happen

We wanted to take the boys to the beach, and have a little family get away. Well it started out with excitement and anticipation, but ended with a little disappointment, but we managed to have a fun time. Tuesday evening I noticed Kade not looking up to par, but hoped it was nothing more than him being tired. Well at 4 am Wednesday morning I was proven right, he woke up crying, burning hot, and saying that his head was hurting. We already had plans to stop in Victoria for lunch with friends on our way, so I called the Dr's office and he fit us in. Kade had 101 temp., and his throat was red, so he gave us an antibiotic that would kick in so we could still have a good time. So two hours later than planned, and Zithromax, Tylenol, and Motrin in hand, we were on our way. Then about 30 minutes from Rockport, my sister calls and tells us that the Dr she works for (who also has property in Rockport) has advised that we NOT get in the ocean water. With all the recent rains, and all of the fresh water dumping into the ocean, then the hot sun, there's bacteria in the waters and some reports of people getting sick from being in it (flesh eating bacteria?!!yikes!!), so we decided in the best interest of our family, we wouldn't go into the ocean waters. Sooo after all of this, we still made the best of it and had fun swimming in the pool at the hotel, going out to eat, and walking on the piers. The highlight was going out on the Dolphin Watching & Sunset Cruise, but best of all the four of us got to spend time together.
