Galveston

Well, today my baby went to the beach for the first time. I'm hoping to start him/her early so they will share my love for the ocean! Not that Galveston is the prettiest of places, but as long as you don't actually put your feet on the yucky brown sand and instead just look at it, it's not so bad. Plus, The Strand is fun for shopping and taking in all of the historical buildings in town. I think the reason I feel so at home near the water is the laid-back atmosphere. Everyone is wearing flip flops and ponytails and feeling super friendly. Makes me want to buy a house near a pretty beach, open a daquiri stand, and be a beach bum!!
