A short vacation with some slightly crazy people

Steve was working in Houston this week and talked us into coming down and visiting Galveston for the day. Friday morning we got on our way to meet Steve and it only took a couple of hours to get kids in the shower (finally) and then load the car. We played the alphabet game in the car but the rules got too complicated so Mom begged for some silence. We arrived about 20 minutes after Steve got done working, he started to ask what took so long but got smart and didn't when he saw how mom looked after the trip.

After a little rest and a quick swim we decided to go for a drive. We didn't have a particular destination in mind but decided to wing it. Steve decided to have me drive and he totally forgot I am directionally challenged. We eventually ended up at Kemah boardwalk and only went 50 miles out of our way. They have lots of fun rides that dad and the kids wanted to ride. They were spun around , flown threw the air and turned upside down, while mom had a nice drink on the patio.

The next day we spent several hours on the beach in Galveston and we had a great time. Unfortunately when we went to leave our battery was dead but some very nice people gave us a jump. After another no start we had to go buy a new battery but all was good then. It was getting late so we decided to head for home since it was a 4 hour drive. There is a huge (several hundred feet tall) statue of Sam Houston in Huntsville which was on the way home. We had a fun time exploring the grounds of the statue but our children couldn't resist acting kinda of crazy with a smaller face statue of Houston.

We did have a great time and nothing is ever boring in this family.
