Our trip to Galveston
Last weekend, we headed down to Houston to see friends and check out the closest beach to us!
I heard that Galveston Beach was "not a beach", nothing special, etc. etc...
When you really want to be somewhere on a beach you will make anything do so I ignored them
and set out for a "weekend beach trip"
Friday night we stayed with friends in Houston and Saturday me, Ty, and Lexi headed to the beach
When we arrived it seriously didn't look bad at all!
After we walked up to the shore we saw that it was all covered in seaweed
and the water looked brown.. I had heard this before we went
Still wasn't horrible... BUT you put 100 degree weather and two people who
didn't want to pay $30 to rent an umbrella and chairs..
and you get three pretty miserable people.
The only way to survive 100 degrees is to be in water.
Lexi wouldn't go near the ocean and you might not have been able to pay me too either ha!
The sand was literally on fire so you had to have flip flops on and my cold bottled water
did not last long.. so let's just say we stayed just long enough
to catch 15 minutes of rays and a sno cone and peace out of there!
Another thing I had in my head is that I wanted to do was hit up beach shops.
We went to a wings-- a shop I grew up going to on beach vacations as a child.
and it was a let down :( pretty pitiful but we got Lexi some beach souvenirs and called it good! I'm pretty sure we just need to plan another Gulf Shores trip with my family...
because after all that's all I really want, it's been wayyy too long!!
We just went to Stewart Beach in Galveston.. I'm thinking Moody Gardens down there
sounded much more appealing so maybe we will try that next time!
After the beach we headed back to the hotel in Kemah and got ready for the night
We headed to the Kemah boardwalk and had dinner at Bubba Gumps!
The Kemah Lighthouse District was a much cuter little town.
I'm also still trying to own this new pregnancy body that just keeps growing! ;)
Lexi's long lost boyfriend, we miss him so much! Reid is a year younger
but they have always been the exact same size and have always played so good together!

On our last day before we headed back to Dallas, we hit up the Nasa Space Center
We saw a film, did the discovery activities, went on a trolley tour,
and we got caught up on a little space history..
After leaving me and Ty decided it wasn't exactly what we had thought it was going to be..
more like a children's museum with some adult things
glad we went and checked it off our list.. but not something we would go back for twice.
That morning I also tried to prep Lexi on what we were going to see so I found
a Magic School Bus episode on Netflix that was on going to space.
It was pretty fun for her to learn the things she did
especially since she has a great grandpa in California
who works for Nasa and helps build the mars rovers!
