Galveston 2011

We went to Galveston for our summer vacation this year. We invited Mama J and Papa J and shared a condo with them. It was a WONDERFUL vacation and hope to make a trip to the beach a family vacation that occurs frequently! I didn't know how the kids would like the ocean, but they really liked it! We would get up in the morning, go to the beach, head back to the condo for lunch and naps, get up, head back to the beach and eat a picnic dinner by a pool at the condo clubhouse. The adults and the kids loved it all! One day, we headed to town to walk around the Galveston Strand. We enjoyed a fountain drink at an original fountain shop and ate sea food of course. The rest of the days were spent at the condo and the beach. Uncle Jeffrey came down one night and spent the day with us. We also were able to meet up with one of my dear friends Shelly, who was vacationing with her family in Galveston at the same time! We ended up not taking too many pictures, but here are some that we did take.

In the evenings, the tide would go down leaving a pool of water. This was perfect! The kids would play in the "pool" and then go to the ocean with the waves and then back again! After it got too dark, we would head up to the clubhouse and spend time in the swimming pool!

Cool picture!

Pretty girl! She has LOTS of swimsuits, but this is her favorite. She insisted on wearing it every day. Oh well!
