Saturday morning we took our time getting up and going but of course, since we were with Chase our first priority was getting Starbucks! Something neither Beth nor I minded.
Next stop was gas station breakfast tacos. I was excited to try these, being in the Valley I figured these would be really good, but sadly all the options were premixed with eggs which meant I could not try them. Oh well.
Our plan was to head north to Corpus early afternoon and let Chase have a little of his weekend to himself. But first we had a really authentic send off meal at Jason’s Deli…we know how to do it up right!
As we were about to leave, we were reminded via twitter that we needed to try corn in a cup. The mixture of white sweet corn, mayonaise and cheese with some spice sounds really gross to me but I hear it is amazing. So, Beth and I went on a bit of a hunt for a food truck that sells it and had no luck. We were kind of bummed. But we did manage to come across the Iwo Jima memorial, I had no idea there was one in Texas.
After that we set out on our journey northward looking forward to going through the border check point in Saritas. Though neither of us quite understood why an hour north of Harlingen we needed to go through a border checkpoint, we weren’t after all at the border. Luckily we made it through with no problem and kept on our way.
We weren’t really in a big hurry to get to Corpus because we had gotten a call earlier from Todd & Lindsey that they had to run their dog Rocco up to San Antonio to the Vet so they wouldn’t be back until close to 5:00 pm, I was sad we weren’t going to get to see him:
So, since we extra time we decided we had to stop by and see “Big Jesus” as Mom calls it. This giant statue of Jesus is out infront of the church Ryan and Sunny got married in a few years ago:
After that we let ourselves into Todd and Lindsey’s and watched “Adventures in Babysitting” while we waited for them to get back.
That night they took us to Sushibar Downtown for dinner. It is the Sushi restuarant that is in the back of their night club. It was delicious and I actually tried everything they ordered included raw stuff…well most of it.
After dinner we headed to Aria for “Project Slicker.” It’s a fundraiser for Family Planning of the Coastal Bend that featured a condom fashion show. It was actually pretty impressive the outfits the designers were able to create.
Sadly I wasn’t really able to get good pictures because some girl decided to stand RIGHT in front of me. And since I’m so short I could not see over her. Luckily the fashion show was filmed and I could kind of see it on the video screen. We ended up hanging out until about 1:30 just chilling with our “cuddies.”
Here is Beth and I with Todd:
Here is Lindsey and her fabulous sister Ashley:
The beerstaches even made an appearance!
We dropped Ashley off and before we could even make it back to Todd and Lindsey’s we lost Beth:
