a vacation...finally

We drove down to Galveston for a few days to escape our busy life. I have lots of things to say, as usual, about the trip thus far, but it will have to wait because I am all tuckered out tonight after a long day with a VERY independent (and at times disgruntled) 18-month-old. I am the last one awake, so it's time for me to catch a few hours before he is up and at us again. Here are a few photos from today. Took along our little Powershot instead of my pride and joy, and it was a good thing because our boy wonder threw sand in the lens. And, no, your eyes do not deceive you: we are all THAT white. Except now I'm sporting a nice little burn on the parts of my back where the sunscreen rubbed off. Gotta love the sun.
