Galveston Tx

 I have been really craving the beach for a long time. Not to mention some of the women who's blogs I read are either living at the beach or they are going to the beach... either way I am jealous jealous jealous... happy for them of course  *wink*  *hugs* but still wishing I was either living with them or being packed up in their suitcase!

The other night I was telling Karl how much I really miss the beach. We were making plans to go to the beach in August in Ocean City< MD. The reality of the situation is it won't be happening.
1. It is a VERY VERY long drive with two kids. 
2. I will not fly until I can take zanex again i.e. done nursing
3. I really hate flying anywhere you will be staying for over a week with car seats at 30.00 a day to rent, car to rent, clothes to stuff into small suitcases, stroller to schlep, connections to make
4. fuck it I HATE TO FLY! sorry i just do

I go back east at least once to twice a year!  I have never ever not been home for longer than 12 months. Speaking of which why do I still say going to PA is going home when it hasen't been my home for over 15 years.  Yeah.... I have no idea why I still say "going home". 

SOOOO I went out and looked at rental houses in Galveston, TX and fell in love!  They are beautiful and right on the beach. So I have convinced Karl to go to Galveston, Tx for a week the last week in August! YIPPPEEEEEEEE

I am inviting Karls family and my family to come down as well. It would be nice if we could have a vacation every year our kids go on with family to the beach.   My sister lives in Dallas and my two brothers now live in Houston. SO really Galveston, Tx for a vacation is a no brainer. Hopefully they will join us.  Before kids we went to the beach every year with my sister and my foster family. They also have extended family they like to spend time with as well as other traveling they like to do so with kids and timing it seems we have not been able to go for the last 5 years with them.  I really really miss it.  I miss the sand, surf and walking along the beach.  Kya is really into building sand castles so I am hoping she will have fun.  I am not a big SWIMMER per say.... I am more of a play in the surf kind of gal so hanging out with my kids in the sand is just fine with me. 

yiippeeeeeee yippeeeeeeee..... now I just have to tell my best friend we aren't driving to Maryland before she reads it here :( i love you sweetie.....

As one of the women making you jealous: HOORAY! You get to go to the beach!!!!! ;) Our beach trip is a family trip, too, but we don't invite M's family, mainly because they would wreck our fun. ;)

I don't wanna bust your bubble... but we went to Galveston this past spring and its still REALLLLLLY tore up from Hurricane Ike. I will try to find my pics so you aren't in shell shock when you get there. It will still be fun, and Houston is right there too.. and you should definetely go to teh zoo and to the Downtown Aquarium...the restraunt is good but pricey, but the aquarium part is really amazing from what I'm told.. we didn't make it to that part cuz we ran out of time.
..just want to make sure you are aware there is major damage there still.
