Toes in the Sand - Galveston



We spent the past weekend in Galveston with my parents. I'm not sure what I was thinking in planning two trips back to back and the weekend before school at that, but it was a great trip. We all had a great time together in adjoining rooms. This was a big thrill for Sterling and Avery. We stayed at the Moody Gardens Hotel, and went to Moody Gardens on Saturday. We all really enjoyed watching the penguins at the Aquarium and seeing all the neat fish and sea creatures. We also went to the Rainforest Pyramid at Moody. The Rainforest Pyramid was destroyed by Hurricane Ike, but they have since repaired it.










It was very hot on Saturday, so we didn't hit the beach until Saturday evening. This had to be a highlight for everyone. I especially loved watching Ian. He was SO excited. He was actually squealing and kicking his legs. He loved watching the waves and putting his toes in the sand.

After the beach, we headed to Ben and Jerrys for some ice cream.

It was a fun trip, but my mom and I both agreed that we had no desire to ever return to Galveston. Every restaurant and restroom we went to was extremely filthy, even at the hotel.
