We took a trip to Galveston over the weekend and went to the beach/water park! It was so much fun I can't believe we've never been! The setup is perfect for babies & young children. There's a splash pad, water slides, lazy river, wave pool, concession stand (ice cream & usual greasy grub), bar, lockers to store belongings, bathrooms with showers. It was perfect for all of us and the girls had so much fun running and playing. I wish I would've taken more pictures, but didn't want to risk getting sand and water on my camera or phone.
It was the last weekend for this beach area to be open, so I expected it to be packed with people. Luckily, it wasn't! We found a spot on the beach with chairs and a nice big umbrella and left our stuff. You can rent a cabana for the day for $75. If it came with a cabana boy I would've splurged the $75, but it only came with a bucket of ice and bottled waters.
Addison and Alyssa LOVED the splash pad and water slides. I lost count of how many times Addison went down the slide!
When we left
we I decided to take the ferry home instead of our usual route. The website showed a 15 minute wait, but when we got there a huge sign said EXPECT LONG DELAYS! Go figure. It was worth the hour wait! We boarded the ferry & went to the top to check out the views & try to see some dolphins. It didn't take long before the dolphins were jumping, splashing & putting on a show for us.
Addison & Alyssa's first ferry ride.
One day in the NEAR future I'm going to get a zoom lens!
