While Rockport beach was near the cottage, it was rocky, surprisingly shell-less (except for those occupied by crabs), and contained considerable amounts of jellyfish (though nothing compared to the beach along Corpus Christi).
About 20 miles and a ferry ride away, was Port Aransas... or "Port A".
Port A is an town on Mustang Island, which one side borders the Gulf, and the other the bay between the island and Corpus Christi beach. It was much nicer than Rockport and Corpus Christi.
By now, Sophie had gotten considerably used to the water. However, the inflatable toys (provided by Carmen) added another incentive to playing more in the water.
She loved being pushed on her inflatable raft.
However, later she decided if she was going to be a "big girl" like Julia and Ashley, she needed to trade it in for one of the boogie boards.
We spent hours playing at this beach and Sophie never seemed to get tired of playing in the water or walking on the beach. I even tried to get her to lay down on the quilt and relax after lunch.
Instead she decided to wait and sleep on the way home.

Here are a few pictures of the Pier during dusk.
