vacation

It's been awhile since I have posted anything. With vacation and what knot it has been CRAZY! This summer has been the best by far. The girls are getting a little older and we seem to do more things with them. The lord has really been good to us. I can still remember driving up to the hotel and listening to the girls screech and saying, "Mommy, is this where we are staying?" This is what makes it worth every penny!

For this year's vacation we took them to Galveston. The first night we stayed at Moody Gardens. We explored all three pyramids, museums, the man made beach,and let's not forget the wonderful 4D theaters. Yes my friends, 4D. You have to see it to believe it. The best way I can describe it is sight, touch and feel movie.

Once we checked in we started hitting the attractions. There is so much to do. By the time the day ended we were exhausted to say the least. Didn't hurt our appetite. We raced to the restaurants. I think we hurt our wallet by eating out everyday all day long. One of our favorite resturant was the Rainforest Cafe'. They even had a water ride. It is not at all locations but some of them have it.

After Moody Gardens extravaganza we checked into our hotel across the road from the beach. We didn't know what to expect with the hurricane. They really cleaned things up. Very nice indeed. So on Wednesday we headed to Schlitterbaun. We opened it and closed it. We were burnt, bruised and ready to drop. I know I am getting older. My kids could of gone another 4 hours. The next day was a different story. We hit the beach full throttle. I am still trying to get sand out of our Jeep.

Our goal as parents is to make many wonderful memories for our girls. Whether it is a nice vacation somewhere or just hanging around the house together. Some of my best memories growing up was doing much of nothing but making the best out of what we had. We have been blessed this year with the opportunity to save for this special trip.
