We decided to take a beach vacation this Spring Break- Galveston and New Orleans. We took off after the kids got out of school on Friday and drove in the direction of Galveston. Our first pee stop was an hour outside of Frisco at a Sonic. The next day we went to the Moody Gardens. It was four giant pyramids that contained small museums. I liked the Aquarium one best, because it had some neat playful penguins in it. The others were okay- the 3D and 4D movie theater pyramid, the rain forest one, and the human body one- with real cadavers (yuck).
We saw a 3D version of the Wizard of Oz. It was pretty fun, up until they melted the witch and we got sprayed with cold water.
It rained most of the time we were in Galveston, so the kids invented their own ride and played it on the back patio of the condo- the "Merry-Go-Basket". You could really get some good spin on the upside down table if you put some arm muscle into it!
We did get about 2 hours of sunshine on the third day, so we ventured to the beach.
Afterward we went to the pool and washed the sand off.
playing shark!
We actually never made it to New Orleans. I got a stomach bug and we were tired of the rain, so we decided to come home early. I'm not a big fan of the Houston area- the beaches aren't as pretty as other places in Texas, but it was a good vacation for the kids, when the sun was out.
