This summer we went to Galveston, Texas and the Miller Grandparents picked out the cutest beach house for us to stay in. All of my old memories of being at the beach, hot and crowded, left me thinking I wasn't actually a beach person. But after our time at the beach in Portland and here, I can officially say I was wrong!

We had a huge stretch of beach all to ourselves for the week. The water was warm and the weather was a lot cooler than Dallas. The ocean was right out the front door so we could wake up with leisure and pop out for a swim or a walk on the sand whenever we wanted. My dad and Daniel's parents both came! We grilled out and ate out and slept really well.

We saw the tall ship, The Elissa and enjoyed the Pleasure Pier and Rain Forest Cafe. Penn and I rented a Surrey Bike that seats 5 and rode the kids around the beach and for ice cream. 

The last hurricane left an old roof in the ocean that I fell on and ended up getting a tetanus shot. Our back windshield shattered for no reason we could find. But not even blood and broken windows could dampen my joy. It was the very best beach vacation ever. I did not want to come home! DSC_2912 IMG_9136
