Much Needed Vacation - Day 1

Well a super mini vacation anyway. We decided to make the most of this Texas situation and check out some of the state. There will probably be several mini trips to follow. For this one we decided to head down to Houston and Galveston. Another reason we headed out for a road trip is out new mini van. We love it! It wasn't a far drive, about 4 hours. Here we are early this morning getting ready to head out.



We made a stop into the Nasa Space Center in Houston. It was interesting, very overpriced for what they had. It was nice to get the kids out of the car though. I can't believe how hot it was outside. It was sticky hot and yuck! Austin has a blast as usual. He loves Space ships. When we were done we had to get him a space ship of his own. He is in love with it.



This was so cute. Austin saw this huge rocket ship and ran over to it, then gave it a huge hug. I thought it was just adorable!







After that we arrived in Galveston. What a beautiful place. We decided to go to the aquarium and check things out there. It was nice and Austin was in love with the penguins...and his space ship toy :)











Then it was a little driving the coast to explore. We were exhausted and cut that short to head to the room. We snuggled in, ate dinner and watched the Wings game. Bummer they lost by the way!
Couldn't leave this one out of Austin and his space ship!


Ok, I have to get to sleep. Another big day tomorrow! Night!!

( Austin just told me he loved me for the first time! )
