Galveston!

Tim and I had not been on vacation since 2008 (yikes!) so we decided we needed a family vacation this summer.  So, we rented a beach house in Galveston with my Mom, brother and nephew.  We had a phenomenal time!  Mom, Carter and I were down there from Sunday to Sunday.  Tim, Scotty and Alex were not able to join us until Thursday evening - but they still enjoyed their time as well! It was so relaxing and fun - the beach was great, the weather was great, the kids were great -  Alex and Carter had such a blast playing together.  We couldn't have asked for more!  I'll explain as we go... (The picture above was taken at Pleasure Pier - which is out over the ocean.  It's like a carnival on a pier!  Super cool - not a whole lot for the little ones to do - but we for sure rode the Merry Go Round!)
