Galveston, Oh Galveston

A couple of weeks ago~we went to Galveston. Good thing because this morning they were reporting "tar balls" coming in!! We had a great trip! Enjoyed some quality family time-just the 3 of us! Well, 4, since we did bring Harley!! We seemed to have packed quiet a bit in in the 4 days we were there! We toured the Shriner's Hospital, experienced Moody Gardens (1 1/2 days), saw dolphins while taking the ferry, checked out Kemah, purchased some fresh seafood (good thing because it sure has sky rocketed since), and ate at some really great restaurants!! NO rain, NO sunburns!!!! A few pics to capture the moment(s):
Don't know what happened to this picture!?!? Maybe lens fogged up since I just got out of the vehicle!?


Beautiful birds in the Rain forest Pyramid:



Nolan and one of his new buds:


Swimming w/ dad at Palm Beach-Moody Gardens:



Ships in the sea have always been a fascination of mine:




Second trip to Moody Gardens to ride the Paddleboat and see the butterflies:


Glad we did because Nolan won the "Honorary Captain" award! He was so proud!!


Playing in the ocean! Yes, that's seaweed~and LOTS of it!!


Tired boy kickin back:


The Kemah Boardwalk was really cool - tho I think Nolan was still a little too young to fully appreciate it!


Feeding the Stingrays:



The babies:


Cool Kemah Carousel:


Silly picture of the "Captain" of the Colonel we were waiting for our lunch at The Flying Dutchman:


Poser:



No, I (we) didn't ride it!! Where do you think Nolan gets his "chickenness" from!?!



GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!!!!
