As a water baby, being near the ocean sets my heart free. Ugh. Mushy. Yet I'm serious. Despite being a little saddened by the inability to run along the waterfront, this winter vacation was a true joy.

You've heard my jokes about a bikini and snow boots, now there's a bikini and a walking boot! Well, all but one day because it was actually a lot cooler than expected. However, it was really nice to sit pool and oceanside with warm southern air and sunshine.
How I longed to run or just get up and walk the island - but I took it slow and rested. A lot.
Although my runner's heart longed to join the many people outside each day taking up space on the expanse of road dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists, I returned home after a week feeling rested and full of seafood specialties. And so much coffee!
Vacationing at a traditionally summer locale during the winter is a must. Less traffic, no wait times, new places to eat and visit that you'd never consider during peak season, and an overall quietness to the island. Highly recommend! South Padre Island, you're perfect.
