Galveston Vacation - Part 1

So at the end of September, we went to Galveston on a little family trip. ( I know it's almost been 2 months - oh well).  We went for a little three day weekend and it was so nice to get away with our little family. We left on a Thursday night after Jason got off work and stayed until Sunday.

Now when I made reservations to go to Galveston I thought the end of September would be a great time because it wouldn't be too hot but still warm enough we could still enjoy the outdoors. EXCEPT it rained 90% of the time that we were there ALL WEEKEND!! Oh well =). We made the most of it and still had lots of fun.

We woke up on Friday and I enjoyed this view from our balcony. We rented a condo right on the Seawall. We were in the back of the complex but it was still a great view even with the drizzle rain.

After lunch, we decided to go to the aquarium in Galveston. I took some pictures of the beautiful ocean while we were on our way.

Pretty right? 

We had an absolute blast at the aquarium and it was all because of the pure joy that E showed at every exhibit. I will remember this outing for as long as I live. She was just so excited. There was an exhibit with seals that we could go underneath to see them swimming and she kept pointing to the seals and squealing and screaming and yelling. There was even another little girl watching them, and E turned towards the girl and in her yelling and pointing you could just tell she was trying to tell the girl how awesome this was. Most. Adorable. Thing. Ever.

Just insert some squeals and yelling and you can get a sense of the excitement that E had

After E's afternoon nap, we decided to go walk along the seawall for a bit since it wasn't rainy and the sky was clear. However, when we decided to do this about 10 minutes away from the condo, it started to get really windy and the clouds started rolling in again. We turned around but we still got caught in the down pour. It was pretty funny. Don't worry, Edidn't get wet at all because she was covered in her stroller.

This was after we got caught in the rain and finally made it to cover at the condo

Some more pictures of the waves on our stroll. The waves were looking rough. 

The rest of the night we hung out at the condo and Jason and I watched a movie after E went to bed.

I'll be back on Saturday for Part 2. Tomorrow is Five on Friday day! Yay!
