Summer Vacation 2011

I was determined to take a mini-vacation this year. I tried getting Anthony (Grande) on board with a trip to Colorado, Corpus/South Padre, among other ideas. We ended up settling on my childhood summer spot, Galveston. Since it's only about an hour from my parents' house it would be easy to make a 4-day trip and hit the beach. We've had a super dry summer in Texas so all seemed well. ...until Hurricane/Tropical Storm/Annoying Don started heading toward the coast. Our plan of heading out early on Friday morning to do a beach day was thwarted. It was gray most of the day, and we decided that our beach trip was canceled and should just head to the local farm where it didn't matter if we got sprinkled on or not.

I like to start my vacations with a picture of the first moment I consider us to be "on our way". In this case, I took a picture of my sleepy baby the morning we were leaving Leander. I woke HIM up for a change. Haha!





Farm time!


























BEACH!!


































And Nanny finally got to see him. Sadly, she missed him last time we went due to a baby health scare. Yuck!
