The Beach! I grew up in Southeast Texas and because the Texas gulf coast was only a short drive away, we went to one of the Texas beaches with my family every summer and I have
wonderful memories! Our current home is in the Houston area, so a 45 min drive will land us on the beach. My husband and I take our kids every summer too and they just
love it! So here are a couple of pics from our last two trips to
Galveston, TX. We stayed at Point West in a condo with another family and had a
great time!

clean, flat, private beach (with no vehicles)
my boys boogie boarding
We have also stayed at the
Galvestonian, and
San Luis which are also both great. We would also like to try staying at the
Palisade Palms on one of our future trips as well.
Galveston also has many great restaurants and shopping. Downtown Galveston is
The Strand with historical buildings, shops, restaurants, and ship viewings.
Moody Gardens has a huge aquarium, rain forest, beach area, and theater. The new
Pleasure pier will also be open this summer, which my kids will be excited to check out.
Schlitterbahn Waterpark is also a blast for the kids. If you're in the area, go check it out!
Hope your Memorial Day Weekend is filled with happiness!
