GALVESTON 2010

We kicked-off our summer by returning to Galveston this year - same hotel as last year. We stayed at the Moody Gardens which turned out to be a good call because Griffin wanted nothing to do with the beach this year. Cried the whole time we were there. Cal would have stayed for days collecting shells. The hotel has a manmade beach w/pool right by the bay so it has a real beach feel and Griff did okay there so we spent a lot of time there. It's also perfect for little guys as it has a shuttle bus that drives you around the property (we love BUSES!), a great playscape on the grounds, a live rain forest, aquarium, and Imax theater. Pretty awesome. The boys loved the penguins in the aquarium and the huge shark tank that you walk through via a tunnel. The turtles are also awesome. We also had a great visit with our friends Katherine & Paul Murphy at their house in Houston w/her kids Everett, Alec & Jack. Their pool rocks and Star Wars made another appearance. A great weekend to get the summer vacation feel going.
