Galveston ahoy.

So we have a guest who came down from Irving Tx, a college friend of my husbands and the three of us went to Galveston. We did not pack any bathing suits because Autum has a huge fear of sharks and I just don't like swimming in the ocean. We did walk along the shore line and let the waves splash our feet and looked for some decent shells.

My flip flops broke and there was no way I was going barefoot across the hot parts of the beach, on the side walk and across the asphault. Autumn and Will went to get me some new flip flops...but they were a six and I'm a nine. They did work until we got to Wal-mart.

We all got burned. We put some lotion on during the middle of our walk, but that did not prevent the sun's first strike.

After getting some decent footwear and food at Sonic we went to the aquarium at Moody Gardens. We got to see seals, sea turtles, rays, eels, sea horses, sea anemones, coral, starfish, crabs, all sorts of fish in sizes and colors and sharks.

As soon as we stepped into the glass tunnel a huge shark with it's mouth wide open swam over us and Autumn froze and backed up into Will.

After we were done we headed back home and I took good inventory of my burned areas. The tops of my feet are the worse and are a bit sore right now.
