Trip to Matagorda

My parents are doing some renovations on their house in Matagorda. Some of the renovations include: new kitchen cabinets and countertop, new floors, and a new downstairs bathroom. It has been years since I have been down there (and Becky too), so we decided to make a day trip to check out the house and help my Mom make some decisions- or as we like to say, give her our "five cents." :)
We left that morning- Mom, Becky, the kids, and me. It is about a two hour and fifteen minute drive. Not too bad. We checked out the house, drove to the beach and saw the new bridge. On our way out of town we stopped at a seafood place to buy some shrimp to take home. Immediately after walking in, Zach says, "It stinks in here." Yes, the aroma of dead shrimp and clorox is not too pleasing. Of course, Zach was afraid of the shrimp. Sophie didn't pay too much attention to them. She was busy checking out all of the sweets on the racks that she could reach. But here are a couple of pics that I took.
We then ate lunch in Bay City and headed home. Sophie almost slept the whole way home. Zach, on the other hand, watched some SpongeBob and chilled in the backseat.
We had a nice little trip.

This isn't a very good picture, but I had to keep it. He was a lot closer to the ice chest before the man started pulling the shrimp out. And look at his reaction. Funny!
