Well, for the second year in a row we tried to go to Gulf Shores and things didn't work out. Last year it was a kidney stone surgery and this year an oil spill...so we packed our bags and headed to Galveston! Of course like any trip, we heard "are we there yet?" about a hundred times...but we were barely out of Kaufman county when Hayden said "where are we anyway...Fornia?" We laughed and laughed and explained we had about 4 more hours to go and "Fornia" was nowhere in sight!
Despite the dirty water and miles of seaweed the kids LOVED IT! They could not have had more fun anywhere else. They jumped and jumped the waves. Hayden couldn't get enough of it, diving under the water over and over...he couldn't have cared less about the salt water. Mommy and Chloe were sick the first day and stayed in the bed but bounced back quickly :) We loved the pool at the hotel and went back and forth from the beach to the pool. The Rainforest Cafe was right beside our hotel so we had to add that to our list. We went to the Moody Gardens Aquarium and to NASA. The kids loved that as much as anything. Chloe even got to go on stage and be the assistant for the astronaut at one of the shows! We went to Kemah Boardwalk and had a blast! But...the hit of the trip was spending the night at Crystal and Dane's house. She made a special bed for them on the floor and they thought that was the best. We swam at her pool and had a yummy lunch before we headed home.
There was very minimal fussing and no major disasters...Great trip, great family...great memories!
