Spring Break March 12 - 17 2012 with Lo and Grace

John and I were surprised to have family visit us for Spring Break.  Lorilee and Gracie traveled from El Paso to Galveston Island to spend 5 days with us.  It was great and we kept the girls busy walking and swimming on the Beach.


 We were able to go down by the Sea Wall, amongst hundreds of Spring Breakers and enjoy the beach and eat at "The Spot".  The food was great and the weather was outstanding.  We took the girls on the Ferry across the Bay to Bolivar Peninsula.  Gracie wanted to hunt for large sea shells, so we did that and were successful and found a few big shells. We also hung out at Jamaica Beach and the girls swam and flew kites.
We for sure wanted them to see Kemah Boardwalk, so we planned a whole day to spend there. We enjoyed lunch at "The Cadillac" and I sure enjoyed my Coronaita.  No one rode but Grace and I, and of course I could not let her go alone.......so we both got our wrist bands for all the rides.  Fun!!
It was fun and the girls loved the atmosphere and of course Gracie loved the rides (me too!!).

We also went to see the Aquarium with the large StingRays and we were able to feed them and touch them.  It was very nice and many other fish to enjoy and see, as well.
 We decided we wanted to go Putt Putt golfing at the last evening so at the RV Resort we went to the Pirates Treasure Adventure Golf. Of course it was so funny and we almost peeeeed our pants laughing so much.  So of course, I took more pictures. We had a wonderful time with the girls and hated to see them leave and look forward to seeing them soon.
