Vacation Day One ~ FUN!!!

Home Home Again Jiggidy Jig (had to steal a line from one of my fave blogs)! Yes, we are back home from our family vacation! It was wonderful in every way!!! We went to Galveston to the Moody Gardens Resort. This was our second trip there...we LOVE it! This place is so perfect for our little family right now...not too terribly far, perfect for little ones, and it's just beautiful there! Being the picture-taker-aholic that I am, I took way too many pics. I know that most of you don't need or want a play-by-play of our trip, but since this is my on-line journal I will be posting dets and pics for each DAY! YES, it was just that good...each day gets its own post!

So I'll start with our departure and my checklist...

First and foremost, JELLEYs for Hadlee just like I wore when I was little and went on vacations...CHECK.

Headphones for both kids for their videos...CHECK.

Our dear friend, TOM TOM...CHECK.

(Actually, our adventure with Tom Tom should get its very own post, but my husband would kill me. Let me just say that Tom Tom took us round AND round the Houston Toll to a tune of about $15 extra dollars. It was a HOOT! I had tears of laughter rolling down my face. My husband is the manly man and really has no need for a Tom Tom, but he loves electronic devises of all sorts!!! Even after our fiasco on the toll, he remains faithful to Tom Tom).

With all that being said, we made it to the BEACH. Hadlee had NO idea what to think and Walker was THRILLED...

Walker's "are we there yets?" had started before we were even out of Waco!!! He was so happy jumping over waves, chasing sea gulls, and digging in the sand...

It did not take the little Beach Goddess long to figure the beach thing out...

Remember this is a Texas Beach...not your best, but for a four hour drive, it works just fine!

Walker & Daddy got right to work on this...

Pure Happiness...


I just can't resist, I feel this picture is post worthy AGAIN! I love my little Coppertone Baby walking on the beach...


"HEY...I love the beach!!!"

Miss Priss arriving at Moody Gardens with her pink stroller, suitcase and bag...You go, girl!!!

A Room with a View...

Can you say HOT TUB in the ROOM?!? I love Vacation Troy!

My little loves were ready to hit the town...

So girly girl... playing with the flowers ~

So boyish boy... playing in the rocks ~


'The Spot' hit the spot! This is a super fun restaurant on the Seawall. Troy and I used the phrase, "hey, we're on vacation" A LOT. If you zoom in on the massive amount of food (BAD food) on this table, you'll know what I mean!!!

Bet ya can't guess what we did after a day of travelling, frolicking on the beach and eating that HUGE greasy meal?!? Nighty night for sure!!!

I only wish I could keep that care free, not a worry in the world attitude I had on our vacation. It was good, real good! You really can see clearly when you are away...

Stay tuned for Day Two tomorrow night. We had very special guests on our second day! I just know you are on the edge of your computer chair waiting! ha ha!!!
