Galveston Day 2

Mia started day #2 of our vacation with some excitement.  She pulled her first tooth that morning in our hotel room!  It was so loose that when she got up the courage to try, it just popped out.  She can't wait to take it home and put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.

We had been watching the weather closely because there was a tropical storm off the coast.  It was quite a way off, but there was a good breeze blowing and the waves were a little stronger than usual.  None of that mattered because we were at the beach!  It was such a good time.  The only weather issue was a little ten minute rain shower, and then we were back in business building sand castles.  Just like last year, the kids didn't really get in the water past their knees, but it didn't matter.  They had so much fun.  They splashed around and played in the sand. 

After being in the hot sun, we showered, got some lunch, and then went on to our indoor activity of the day (which to be honest was really for me, I guess).  Galveston is home to some gorgeous architecture, so we toured one of the historic homes called 1892 Bishop's Palace.  It was amazing.  My most favorite activities on vacation involve seeing and experiencing places of historical significance.  This house certainly did not disappoint.  Look at the amazing woodwork and the stained glass!

Mia and Quinn love staying in a hotel.  They were having so much fun that we had to separate them and make them lie down in separate beds to go to sleep.  You can see what they thought of that idea.
