Heading Home

We packed up and said "Good-Bye" to Galveston this morning. We had a great visit and plan on coming back again. Hopefully Hurricane Ike will not blow it away and we will be able to return soon. Our condo worked out perfectly for us.

You walk into the front door and you enter into the hallway. To your right is the . . .
. . . master bedroom with a king sized bed. We had just enough room to fit Nathan's pack n' play next to the bed. Further down the hallway is . . .
. . . a closet and some built in bunk beds. We used these for storage. The bathroom is further on the right. Continue down the hallway and enter the . . .
. . . great room. It had a table and chairs.
The kitchen is on the right with everything that you need to make a meal. It had a pull out couch and . . .
. . . TV.
This was our view and balcony.

On our way home, we stopped at the Johnson Space Center. (no photos) We enjoyed it the best we could with a tired out 2 year old. They have several movies which Nathan would not sit still for. We also skipped the tram ride because it was 1 1/2 hours long and we would not have been able to keep Nathan in his seat for that long. We will have to come back when Nathan is a little older and can enjoy more of the activities.

We ate lunch at the Space Center and then headed home. Nathan was awake the entire trip and kicked the back of my chair the whole time. He was well entertained by reading books, playing Game Boy, playing with his birthday monkey and a spaceship that Daddy bought him in the gift shop. We are very thankful that we didn't run into any traffic until we got to downtown Dallas.

Nathan did great for a traveling 2 year old. He had a couple of meltdowns during the trip, but overall I think he had a great time. He was happy to get home and play with his toys. He missed them all and couldn't decide which toys to play with first. I put him to bed at 8PM and we didn't hear from him again that night. He was tired out and glad to be in his own bed.

I'm ready to start planning our next family vacation!!
