Day 1 & 2 at the beach – 2014

Months ago our friends the Hebert’s asked us if we wanted to rent their place in Galveston while they took an amazing road trip back east. We quickly said yes and on September 4th we headed for Galveston. It’s funny how relaxed we are when packing up the car and hitting the road when we only have 5.5 hours to drive compared to 2 days to get to the east or west coast. We drove down and after unloading our stuff at the Hebert’s awesome beach house, we headed over to Target to buy food and a few other supplies for our time at the beach. The girls woke up the next morning ready to hit the beach before breakfast, but we made them at least stop to do that. Our good friend Laura happened to be in town and came to hang with us at the beach on the first day. Now on with the photos!

Friends!

 

Lisa, Angelina and Matthew came out to spend most of the second day in Galveston with us! The kids had so much fun playing together.

The girls had a great first two days at the beach and were completely worn out by bedtime.

The Dallas Arboretum plants over 500,000 spring bulbs each year in preparation for the Blooms event and the display is amazing. Here are just a few of my favorite photos from our day.
