Galveston 2017

Our little Galveston get-a-way turned out to be a little exciting as we left our sunny/dry weather and headed straight into Tropical Storm Cindy! It was crazy that the Tropical Storm was literally going to hit the town the evening that we got there. We decided to brave the weather and not let a little rain ruin our vaca! It has made for a fun story to say that we were in the middle of a Tropical Storm. :-) And the truth is, it wasn't bad at all. It was drizzly when we got there and we walked to dinner from our condo (because... come on, how many times can you say you took a walk during a Tropical Storm??!). Most of it hit that evening while we were sleeping. It rained a little the next couple of days, but we still managed to get to the beach one day, hit up the Aquarium and Pier another day, and ate at some yummy restaurants! I don't think we've eaten at a bad restaurant during our two trips there. It's so good!! We tried Jimmy's on the Pier, Nick's Kitchen and Beach Bar, The Spot and my favorite... Fisherman's Wharf. Somehow, Travis got Tyler and Kinley to try a raw oyster at Fisherman's Wharf. Tyler was so mad after he tasted it that he was almost in tears. He thought it was disgusting! Kinley did a good job at faking that she didn't think it was as horrible, but definitely didn't want another one. HaHa! Kinley also got her first sunburn... and I mean sunburn(!!) (with zero sun! Agh!) AND she choked on a peppermint in the car. I'm not sure I'll ever forget that look of panic on her face when the peppermint got stuck. I flew out of the passenger seat and around to her so fast, pulled her out of the car and then she threw up in a parking lot and out came the peppermint. It was nuts! Overall, the kids had a great time (they absolutely love playing in the sand and could do that all day!) and it was nice to get away from the house for a few days! We'll be back!
