\"Walking<\/a>

(The view from our hotel.)<\/p><\/div>\n

We spent last week in Galveston<\/a> with my family, enjoying the sights of that pretty coastal city.\u00a0 This trip has been in the works for months, and it was a truly relaxing and enjoyable time.\u00a0 The boys loved their first beach experience and had tons of fun swimming in the hotel’s pool and spending time with their cousins.\u00a0 Ryan and I got to relax and unplug for a little while, and that’s always a good thing.\u00a0 We visited the aquarium at Moody Gardens<\/a>, ate delicious food, and enjoyed a quiet week with family.<\/p>\n

We take a lot of day trips and spend the occasional weekend in a different city, but this was the first big vacation we’ve taken with the boys.\u00a0 It was much easier than we anticipated and we’re hoping to make it an annual event.\u00a0 Since we came home, we’ve been busy preparing for the beginning of school, which is in just a few weeks. This year marks a big transition in our family as James starts kindergarten and Rhys finishes his last year in preschool.\u00a0 Two boys, two schools, and two different schedules will be a challenge, I’m sure, but we’ll figure it out as we go.<\/p>\n
