This year we met up with Jared's family in Galveston, TX for vacation. We stayed at a motel right across from the beach, it was great. We spent most of our time at the beach but also drove into Houston to go to NASA. The girls were not to thrilled with the beach at first. They did not like the waves and didn't like all the sand. The second day Grammie and Aunt Megan took them looking for shells on the beach and they totally changed their tune. Claire collected a bucket full of shells and enjoyed looking for them. They spent most of their time where the water would barely go over them and would dig in the sand. The girls really liked the hotel pool, of course. They liked that it had lion heads that spit water out of their mouths into the water. Not real lions...that would be dangerous! The girls wore their life vests in the pool and surprised me by trusting them and were swimming around on their own. By the end the girls were jumping off the side by themselves. I think they were watching their older cousins and wanted to do what they did. It was close enough that it was a doable drive for a short vacation. I hope we do it again but maybe stay a little longer. This was my kind of vacation. I love the beach and the warm weather and warm water. It may have not been the prettiest of water or beach but to me it was perfect.
