Well wouldn't you know that in our record drought summer it poured on Wednesday (believe me I wasn't complaining). So we got all the way down to Galveston and tried to wait the rain out a little for a clear patch of weather, so first we tried going to the Train Museum, but with a lot of the exhibits closed we decided not to spend the money. Our next attempt to pass time by was going to eat lunch. We asked Jace where he wanted to go and he said "the turtle place" which means Tortuga, we had one in The Woodlands but closed recently. So we ran in from the car to try and stay a little dry for lunch. After a nice lunch we decided, who cares if it is raining, you get wet on the beach anyway right? Well that idea worked out for Trae and I for about 10 minutes tops, I guess I should have taken into account the high speed wind and the sun not being out because I had the biggest goose bumps I have ever seen. Pretty gross actually. Luis and Jace played for a while in the ocean (which actually felt like bath water since it was so cold outside) until it started to lightening. So they ran up to the car where Trae and I had been hanging out. I guess we will have to try again for Trae to really experience the beach!!
We checked into the hotel and actually had some clear weather so we went swimming for a bit before getting ready to head out for dinner. We went to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack on the Kemah Boardwalk and after dinner took the train ride.
The next morning after breakfast we headed back over to the boardwalk so Jace & Trae could ride the rides and play in the fountains. We may have had a rough start but our trip ended on a great note!!
