Until next time...

We had a noon check out time so we hit the beach one more time. 

I kind of hated to leave because this was the prettiest day all weekend. 

Olivia definitely enjoyed the water more this day.

She met a friend on the beach. It turned out to be the guy Ryan delivered trusses to daughter. What a coincidence.

Love them!!

My handsome hubby.

After the beach we showered and packed up to head home. We had a great time. C said he wanted to stay forever. It makes me so happy to see my kids happy. I'm so glad Ryan let us tag along with him. 

Beach bums

While Ryan went to deliver his load of trusses I took the kids down to the beach.

Carson had a blast and ran straight to the water. 

Olivia was more hesitant and just played in the sand. It was also rainy so I don't think she was loving it.

It's seriously impossible getting pictures of these two together.

We saw so many surfers. 

They were all so friendly.

Before we went back up to the hotel to shower we walked the beach. C liked this statue. 

(The humidity and wind was horrible for my hair!! I put every product I own in it to try and help it. Ryan kept saying the same about his beard. :)) I googled places to eat and found a place called shrimp n stuff. It was definitely a local joint, but delicious and not expensive at all. I shared fried shrimp with the kids. Since it was a rainy afternoon we went back to the room and all took a 2 1/2 hour nap. Love I can be lazy on vacation and not worry about doing chores. The rest of the day was low key. We wanted burgers for dinner so I googled more places. The ones with the best reviews were only open Monday thru Friday. They must really be good. We probably drove  around for an hour before just deciding on whataburger of all places. Ha. 

We ended the night watching the incredibles, & first kid.

Going to Galveston

Ryan had a load of trusses going to Galveston this weekend, so he let us tag along with him. I was excited because c had been begging us to go to the beach. We didn't tell him all week we were going somewhere. I picked him up about 1230 so we could get on the road.

He just thought the surprise was delivering with daddy somewhere far. It rained the whole drive. Some parts it was so hard to see the road. The drive took a few hours longer than normal.

Here's our load.

I made Ryan drive down the boulevard a few times so I knew all of my hotel options ha. Ryan will stay in the nastiest places. We ended up at the holiday inn resorts.

The kids love riding on the luggage carts.

We had an ocean view room on the 4th floor. Since we got to the hotel late we just walked to one of the nearest places to eat. It was a pizza place called papa brothers. We all thought it was really good. We got a large and ate all but one piece. (I forgot to take pictures of our food the whole weekend)

After dinner we walked back to the hotel for showers. Then we snuggled up and watched movies. 

They were so excited to share a bed. This is the first time Olivia slept in a big bed without me.
