Amici Bello: Our Mommy Daughter Vacation Day 1 Port Aransas TX

Hi everyone! Well last week my daughter and I had a mini vacation in Port Aransas TX. We go every summer all summer long on the weekends. But this summer we were able to stay a few days by ourselves :-). So much fun! I wanted to share some of our trip with everyone and links to the places we went with reviews.

Day 1-Monday we started out by taking a quick morning stroll on the beach ANNNNND a quick stop at a candy store LOL! It's awesome and it has a big rattle snake!! http://www.wintonscandies.com/

Then headed over to Fire it Up Ceramics http://www.fireitceramics.com/ this place was great! It's right in town and very convenient wither great hours. Make sure that if you plan on going, go on your first day so they have time to fire your art work so you can pick it up before you leave Port A.

You walk into a very nice set up with a great staff and a large friendly shop cat ;-) wandering around. The staff will explain how everything works. You get to take your time picking out your ceramic that you want to paint. We picked a DAD one for Father's frame and my daughter picked a pretty butterfly for her room. There are TONS to choose from. And even some that are already painted that you can buy.Then you pick a spot at one of the already set up tables and the staff will come over to ask you how long you will be in Port A and tell you when your ceramic will be ready by. Then they give you a card and point you in the direction of the "paint" sample wall....wish I had taken a picture. Any who they explain what paint does what and what is compatible with what. You take your yellow card and write down the color numbers you want, you can pick up to 6. Give your card to the staff, they will prepare your paints while you pick any brushes you want and then you get started! No rush, take your time and they clean up any mess.
