Saturday breeze

Spring Break kicks off today, a fact we didn't think too much about until we made a quick drop-in at the aquarium after the usual Saturday morning Farmers' Market/Sun Harvest run. Over 3,000 people they're expecting today. Another 3,500 tomorrow, before the big crowds pick up on Monday - over 5,000 a day. The upside of all the people is that we ran into a few that we know: Justin, who works there, met us over by Bo, the aquarium's new alligator (originally from Taft); Justin is married to Emily, who is in Bek's Corpus Christi Mom's Group. Later, on the way to the car, we met Jason, Shannon, Karen, and her boyfriend (Jason's mother and grandmother attend St. C's), as they were coming out of the birds of prey show. Anyway, glad for the gift of friends and familiar faces, and some of the few folks we know within a few years of us, age-wise, which makes things easier sometimes. All in all, a beautiful day, with lots of sun and an unbelievable wind, and two gorgeous ladies with whom to share all these things.
