One thing that I absolutely love about Matt's job, is the opportunity of travel. This week, his company sent him for training in Galveston, TX. They pay for our hotel, and expenses, leaving us to pay for our touring. Yes, I am a tourist. For the first time in my life, I've found myself walking with a camera in one hand, and a beach bag full of goodies and souvenirs in the other. We're staying at the Moody Gardens Hotel, and let me say, if ya'll ever find yourself in Galveston, this is the place to stay. It's so beautiful, not to mention the three pyramids in the back yard! We're touring the aquarium one tomorrow with my friend, Emily Palmer. Yesterday, we spent the morning at the beach, with the kids chasing the waves, and finding sea shells in the sand. We went back this morning, and the weather was perfect! After a break in the hotel room, I took the kids to see the Ocean Star drilling rig museum, to give them an idea of what Matt works on. It was pretty neat, although the kids were more interested in the fish tank on the way out. Anyway, I'll leave you with some pictures, and I'll have more by the time we go home!
The girls were so excited to make a sand castle!
Marrion was scared of the waves, if you want to call them that since they were tiny on shore, but she kept running away from them.
