Family Vacation

We finally got around to taking a family vacation since we have been a family of four.  We packed our bags, loaded up the car and headed down to the coast this past weekend.  We could not have asked for better weather or less crowded tourist spots.  We had a great time and Dalton is already asking to go back.

Daddy is behind the wheel and Dalton is on the phone with Grandma excitedly telling her that we are headed to the beach.

Our first stop….the Texas State Aquarium.

Enjoying the dolphin show!

Seeing all the different fish.

Meeting some of the rescued wildlife.

In front of the Lexington.

Admiring the sea turtles.

“Racing” the dolphins.

Touching a sting ray.

Trying to grab a sting ray.

Wondering if we can put one of these in our house?

Learning about different sea creatures.

Picking up hermit crabs.

Being “tourists” at a local souvenir shop.

Second stop…the beach.  This was both Addie and Dalton’s first experience at the coast.  He ran right in.  She was a bit more cautious.

Playing in the waves with his trusty blue boat.

Playing in the sand with her trusty bucket and shovel.

 

Building castles in the sand.

Making memories!

Heading home.
