Galveston......

Just because I'm putting up another post doesn't mean you're off the hook for commenting on the Memories post! I love that one, the comments are all so funny. It's interesting to see what people remember about you! So if you haven't already, add your memories and repost it on your blogs. It's fun!

Last Friday Brad was off so we decided to take a little trip down to Galveston for the day. Actually Whitney and I decided. Evan was all for it but Brad really strongly dislikes the beach. He was a pretty good sport about it. I love the ferry ride. The seagulls always amaze me, they are so aggressive! They'll swoop down and eat out of your hand.
We got there around one and shopped around in the little beach side souvenir shops. Evan bought a surf board thing and Whitney bought a raft. The played in the surf for several hours. I got in for a little while. The water was warm, really too warm. It was like a bath. We got a little sun but not too bad.

After the beach, we showered at a big bathhouse close by then headed to an old part of town with brick streets and tons of cute shops. We walked around an hour or two then headed to Joe's Crab Shack.

My favorite meal in the world, I think, is Joe's coconut shrimp and cheesy new potatoes. If you haven't had it, you've missed out. The restaurant was right on a harbor. After we ate, we headed back to the shopping area for the kids to get an ice-cream cone at an adorable little ice cream shop we had spotted. Evan got chocolate and Whitney got apple pie flavored ice cream. We headed out and got home around midnight. We hadn't been down there in years. It was fun!
