Galveston: Mini-Vacation

One last little get-a-way before school starts!  We headed down to Galveston, TX to meet up with our great friends Trae, Bethany, Bekah, and Avery Sutton.  We rented a little house on the beach and settled in for a long weekend of R&R.  We drove down Thursday after work, so it was pretty late.  But, Friday morning we had a great day!  Trae made breakfast tacos and the kids played.  Then, we went to Moody Gardens where we spent the majority of the day.  Moody Gardens was so much fun!  We visited the aquarium and rainforest.  We saw a 3D movie and rode on a paddlewheel boat.  Friday evening we walked down to the beach.  The kids had a great time despite the huge amounts of seaweed!  Saturday, we spent the morning resting and visiting.  Then, we went swimming at the clubhouse pool.  That afternoon we had a mid-day meal at Landry's Seafood and then went over to Pleasure Pier.  Pleasure Pier was such a fun place!  There were lots of rides, a ferris wheel, and live music.  We had a ball!  Unfortunately, on Sunday we had to head back home, but it was a great weekend and we were so happy to enjoy one last hoorah before we get back to the "school schedule"!!
