Last Monday and Tuesday my family and I went for our annual trip to Galveston and Moody Gardens! We're not really beach people so we enjoyed just hanging out at the water park at Moody Gardens!
It was so much fun to stay in the cool water all day instead of sweating in the heat! And hearing Alexis laugh as she rolled me through the water sprinklers was the highlight of the trip (that's also when my wheelchair got its yearly washing LOL).
Kimberly booked the hotel rooms and they were, without a doubt, the nicest hotel rooms we've ever stayed in....The room was HUGE with two queen sized beds and could have easily fit a third bed, the bathroom was big and even had a shower chair already in the tub waiting (a God thing, because I forgot to bring mine). LOVED our hotel!
We topped the night off with a trip to Rain Forest Cafe which allows you to feel as though you're eating IN the rain forest...Complete with thunder, lightning, rain and animal sound effects throughout the evening...We love eating there and going on the ride afterward! So much fun!
Tuesday, Dad and Justin played golf (in the rain) while Kimberly, Lexi, Austin, Mom, and myself went shopping on the strand...TOTALLY NOT handicapped accessible, but we did manage to find an old fashioned ice cream shop with a lift elevator where the kids got ice cream and Mom found (and bought me) some of my beloved cotton candy Jellybeans! I've already eaten all of them! :(
We managed to leave Galveston long before hurricane Alex made his presence known (aside from some rough waves on Tuesday as some signs that he was indeed out there).
Tazzie had her first "sleep away" from us as we boarded her at the vet for the first time ever. Last year was just too much for her so she stayed with the vet and got updated on her shots and got her physical while she was there. She did great and was very happy to see us Tuesday afternoon!
Our motto for the trip became "Waterlogged" since we all got wet on both days of the trip whether it be from the water park or shopping/golfing in the rain. We had a blast though and made some awesome memories! :)
