Vacation 2008

With two babies on the way, Erick and I decided not to take a big vacation this year. We decided to take a couple of days off work and go down to Port O'Connor to relax. It was the weekend of the annual Poco Bueno fishing tournament which draws a pretty large crowd. The winner this year brought in a 518 lb. blue marlin.

While we were there, Erick went fishing one morning around 6am with his dad and they caught 6 trout. The next morning Erick slept in, but his parents and their friends decided to take a 45 minute boat ride at 5am to try and get some fish. They ended up bringing back 40 trout. We could not believe all the fish they caught. I guess the old saying "the early bird gets the worm" is true. Here are several pictures from our weekend.

Beautiful morning view heading out to catch some fish.
