It's hard being out traveling and having one of your kiddos have their birthday on the road - - what do to, what to see - - how to celebrate. Plus this is a big one - 21! We decided to do something special that she'd like and travel down to South Padre Island. We heard that it was a completely different world than the other areas of the gulf coast and she had really been wanting to see the beach/ocean (and not just bay areas we'd been in). We also took our family for her birthday to Sea Turtle Inc to see the turtles!
Sea Turtle Inc is a great organization - their mission is to educate the public, rehabilitate injured turtles, and lead with conservation efforts. We've been following them on Instagram for awhile seeing all the amazing work they do.
South Padre Island is a resort town on a barrier island of the same name, off the southern coast of Texas. It’s known for its beaches and calm waters. South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center is home to a 5-story watchtower with views of migrating birds. The South Padre Island Dolphin Research & Sealife Nature Center offers boat tours and touch tanks. Sea turtles are rescued and rehabilitated at Sea Turtle Inc.
South Padre Island is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the United States. Swimming, fishing, kiteboarding, dolphin watching, horseback riding adventures on the beach, ecological tours and access to personal water craft rentals are available on the island.
South Padre is also super dog friendly -on the beaches, at restaurants so Ernie got to participate in the fun too - https://www.sopadre.com/experiences/pet-friendly/
