Today is our last full day to spend in this town called Galveston that we have fallen in love with and we had to start our day with what Brent and I love the most...the beach. Luckily, we arrived early because Galveston is a totally different place on Saturday. The good parking spots go fast! We set up the tent, chairs, little swimming pool and beach toys for fun in the morning sun. Brent and I were filled with joy watching our sweet angels having so much fun playing on the beach.
How do you go to the beach and not eat seafood? Yum!!! We ate dinner at the famous Fisherman's Wharf which ended up being very entertaining for Beck. Let me explain...Brent and I ordered 1 1/2 pounds of crab legs and Beck discovered how fun it is using a nut cracker on the crab legs. He had an absolute blast at this restaurant!
Afterwards, we walked around and there just happened to be a festival going on. Beck thought the band was playing too loud. Then, we came across what every kid loves...the booth with every kid's dream...toys!!! Beck found a gun that cost $12 but I only had $8 so as I was trying to think of how I could get more money, Beck is crying big tears because we told him we didn't have enough cash for that toy. The very nice gentleman let us have it for $8 and told us we owe him $4 which is another reason why we have to go back (smile). I have to admit, this is the coolest gun I've seen.
We checked out the shrimp boats and Beck used his new gun to shoot the pelicans.
This is our new house! Check out Bishop's Palace...this house was built from 1886-1892 by a lawyer and can be toured for $10 for each adult.
Lastly, we ended our evening at the oldest souvenir shop in Galveston...Murdoch's. This place has been around since the late 1800's and has been through six storms/hurricanes. It was so relaxing sitting in the rocking chairs listening to the ocean. Of course Beck and Kinsey had to have a sword fight before leaving the store...they are a mess! BTW, Beck was getting attacked by his little sister...she was going after him with her sword and she got a few licks in on me too!
Every good thing must come to an end and now it's time to pack up for our journey home tomorrow. Beck told us that he loves our beach house and wants to stay. I'd love to stay too! It's so much fun going to the beach and this was without a doubt a place that we will visit again. Thanks for the memories!!!
