Galveston

The girls, mom, Ali, Avery and I, went on our annual trip, this year we went to Galveston. On our way to Galveston we stopped at Kemah so Avery could ride some rides and we ate lunch there before heading to Galveston. Avery has never been to the beach, so we decided to go Monday around 6 when it wasn't so hot. She is not much of a beach person; she played in the sand, but didn't really like the water.

On Tuesday we went to Moody Gardens. We started off by going to a 3D IMAX show about Whales and Dolphins. Avery wasn't really interested in wearing the glasses, but she sat pretty still for the show. We then headed to the Rainforest Pyramid, Aquarium Pyramid and also the Discovery Pyramid. We then rode on the Colonel Paddlewheel boat and then headed to the waterpark, Palm Beach. It was a very full day of fun.

On Wednesday we rented the 4 seater bicycle and paddled down the seawall a little ways. That thing is work. We had the bike for an hour and a half, but returned it within 45 minutes. Next time we try that I think we need at least one guy or cooler weather. We then rode the ferry and then went to the Strand for lunch and ice cream before heading back home. We had a really good time and how it is time to start thinking about where we want to go next year.
