Vacation 2009

A week ago today, I was getting everything packed away, getting ready for the long ride home from Galveston!

We had such a great time and now I can relive it over and over. I finished my Scrapblog today! I am so excited. I am going to have it printed off so we will a keepsake from our wonderful trip.

I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed making it.

A Quick Hello

Hello from beautiful Galveston Island, Texas! The weather is hot but the fun is great! Traffic was terrible on Monday but the rest of the trip has been wonderful. Late lunches both days and late naps as well.

As I type, Mattie May is still asleep. We have spent the day at Moody Gardens. She has enjoyed the fish and penguins at the aquarium, walked with the dinosaurs at Dinos Alive exhibit and we finished our day there with a ride on the Colonel, an old paddle boat. Then lunch with elephants and gorillas at Rainforest Cafe.

When she wakes up we are going swimming then to play miniature golf at this cute place down the seawall.

Can't wait to share my pictures with you all!

God bless you all.

It Seems Like Just Yesterday.

Tonight we went to the Western Heritage Classic parade. It seems like yesterday that we just went and I used this opportunity to use this parade as the subject of a new craft I was learning, digital scrapbooking. Man ~ time really does go by faster the older you get!

It was much shorter than usual, but that was a blessing since Frank went with us this year and because it was so hot today! My car read 104 when I got in it at 5 and I had left windows down! Man - I dread to see July and August if it is already this hot in May!!!!!

Frank and I scheduled our vacation time today. We were both able to get the days we requested on our first try. That is usually pretty easy for me, but Frank has more people to coordinate with. Now we just have to decided where we want to go. Mattie May wants to go back to the beach so to the beach we will go. We are trying to decided between Corpus Christi (where we went last year) or Galveston. I worry about Galveston because it has not even been a year since they were hit with Hurricane Ike. From everything I read on the internet, they are ready for tourist. If any of you out there have visited Galveston lately, let me know how it was.

I hope everyone is having a blessed week and I wish all you Mom's out there a Happy Mother's Day (just in case I don't post again before Sunday)!
