Over the previous Memorial Day weekend the family and I went Galveston Texas to spend some lovely time on the beach. We got down there on a Friday and left Monday morning. The kids love the beach even though this year was the 30 year seaweed invasion. When I say invasion I mean the first 50 feet of beach front was covered in at least three feet of seaweed. It created a wonderful patina of color ranging from dark brown to a lime green as the seaweed built up and decayed. We always stay at the condo which over looks a pool with a lazy river and palm trees.
From the condo there is a porch at both ends and since we are right at the end of the island, from one side you can sea the ocean and from the other side you can see Galveston Bay. Its awesome because you get to see the sunrise over the ocean and set over the bay so vista views either way.
The trips being five this year have taken the plunge. In all aspects of the word. They chased the waves and now jump directly into the pool. We spent hours just beach combing and collecting shells looking for crabs in the tide pools. Getting sunburned, and fishing. Yes fishing, the kids started fishing this vacation. While fishing the kids all caught fish and my wife caught three where as Poppie and I caught nothing. all in all it was a great trip.
