Galveston!!!

Kristy & I decided to take the kiddos on a little vacation to Galveston. We left on a Friday, and came back on a Tuesday. The weather was perfect! We left for OKC just in time for the rain to get there. The drive there took us about 12 hours... we had no men with us so we stopped at a few stores on the way & didn't feel bad if we had to stop & potty every hour!

So, yes, we had the box on top of the car! We were so embarrassed when we pulled up to our hotel. The place only had valet & there was a ton of people standing outside- so we just pulled around the corner & unloaded the car. Rather than have everyone looking up at our booties, we figured this was the better option!


Our hotel... very nice! Had great shopping on the street behind us.

Group pic! Poor Tatum had foot surgery a couple of days before we left. Thank goodness for the wheelchair!

So, Kristy had 2 things that she wanted to do...go watch the dolphins & rent these STUPID bikes! Oh, we look like we are having a great time in the pic, but it's because we haven't started yet! Basically, it costs us $27 for an hour... we had her back to the place in about 15 minutes and that included resting time! Sadly, K didn't get to see the dolphins :(

Moody Gardens was a place that had an aquarium, 3D movies, a pool, a rainforest, etc... Pretty neat & the kids liked it.

Day 2 of Moody Gardens


We didn't get in too much beach time. There was a ton of seaweed! Maj loved the waves!








There was an old time soda/ice cream/candy store behind our hotel that we visited a few times. One thing about our 3 kids- they love their candy!

We decided to drive to the Houston Aquarium on the last day because it was cloudy. The kids got to touch stingrays. And that python is huge & SCARY!




Me & the Maj at the Rainforest Cafe! (and we did indulge in the brownie volcano!)

Late night swimming at the hotel.

It's like 100 degrees in Galveston and this girl orders chili!!!

Our last night... We let the kids swim & Tatum had to keep his foot dry.
Our little road trip came to an end- and we were much faster on the way home! We knew Chad & Trey missed us and couldn't wait for us to get home!
