Mini-Vacation

Alan came home from work Friday night and said, "Let's go to the beach." At first, I thought he was joking because we really aren't that spontaneous, but then I realized he was serious. We talked about it for a little while and thought about maybe going on another weekend, but while we were talking about it, Katie was packing. She came in with her bag packed and said, "Aren't you guys ready yet?" There was no turning back at that point. We threw some stuff in a bag and we left.


We were in Galveston 4 hours later. We splurged a little and stayed at the San Luis Resort. We all drooled over that place last year when we stayed at the Holiday Inn which is right next door. We just told the kids to not get used to it. We are not setting a new standard.


We spent all day on the beach Saturday. Everybody got sunburned. The kids got to ride a jet ski. This time they did not hurt their dad. We ate supper at the Rain Forest Cafe. Sunday morning, we came home. A nice mini-vacation.
