Port Aransas Brewing Company

One final restaurant review from my trip to Port Aransas.  For dinner one night we tried out Port Aransas Brewing Company.  They brew all their own beer and are known for their burgers.  C was excited for the beer, I was excited for the burger.  Win, win.
Brewing their beer.. right behind the bar.  Kind of cool to see! 
Interesting tid-bit on their menu.  They actually have their own steers, naturally raised.  I don't see this a lot, and it's impressive.
C's beer... before he drank it all :)
C got a burger with bleu cheese and jalapenos on it.  Along with some sweet potato fries, which he said were delicious.
I got the cheeseburger with avocado, which I love putting on my burger.  I don't even need ketchup or mustard because I like the avocado flavor so much!  This was a whole lot of food, I must say.

I liked the burger a lot, and it was a lot of food.  I will say I like my burger cooked around medium, and this one was a little overcooked.  It was still really good though.  The restaurant was very busy, and had a lot more to offer on their menu.  Hopefully one day I'll be back to try some of their other offerings.

Have a great weekend everyone & GO GREEN!

We're Beach People

Thought I would share some of my favorite photos from our recent trip to Port Aransas.  We all had a great time, but I think Mia might have enjoyed it the most.  C and her had a blast playing king of the hill on the beach.
Even when it's not really hot and sunny I love being by water.  So peaceful!
Kind of cool how close to the water some of the birds fly.
Mia found something to chew on..shocking, I know!
We also went to the infamous belt sander races at a bar called the Gaff.  Mia enjoyed herself here too :)
The race track... it was pretty fun to watch!
People decorated their belt sanders for the races, some were very creative.  They were hard to get a picture of because they were racing and flying by you, but I caught this one.
Mia and C's Dad.  She loved being around his parents.
And possibly my favorite picture of the whole trip.  Yes ladies, this is my boyfriend...feeling up a wooden mermaid on a boat.  Don't be jealous ;)

Bundy's, Port Aransas

On a recent visit to Port Aransas I was able to try a few different restaurants.  C's parents had been there for a while, so they had found all of the good places, which was awesome!  In case you all didn't know, my big bad life dream is to own my own bakery and cafe.  When C's parents told me about Bundy's, it sounded exactly like what I would want to have, so I was very excited to investigate and try it out.  The decor is cute, nothing fancy and very welcoming.  
The food spoke for itself, which is how it should be!  I was excited to eat before I had even looked at the menu.
After you ordered, instead of giving you a number they gave you a wooden letter.  In our case, it happen to be my initial :)
C's Mom ordered a spinach cheddar croissant.  I was too full from my meal (which you'll understand why as you read on) but it looked delicious.
C stuck with his favorite - cinnamon roll.  I did get a bite of this, and it was delicious!  Frosting was perfect.
I opted for tea, and thought this tea kettle was so cute.  The bottom of it is the actual cup, how clever.
I ordered the stuffed french toast, which was as sweet as a dessert.  Not that I was complaining :)  It was super tasty and the portions were plenty to fill you up.  
Overall I really enjoyed my visit to Bundy's, the food was made with love and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.  Your check book might get a bit of work out, but if it's a once and while visit - it's totally worth it.

Happy Wednesday!
