One place that we've gone to a few times is the Kemah Boardwalk (it's great to have a fun free place to go!). It's only a few miles away from us and is right on Galveston Bay. The Boardwalk has some fun restaurants and shops and is complete with amusement rides and, well, a boardwalk on the bay to watch the boats come in and out, seagulls fly overhead, and seacreatures (we've seen crabs and fish...they have signs about alligators but we haven't seen one...yet). It also has a sprayground in the center and the times we've gone there has been live music! We were sad that this was one area near us that was severely affected by Hurricane Ike -- there was a lot of damage but we hope that it will be restored and back to business soon.
Looking at the water...
Nat and Graham playing in the sprayground!
This was a different outing... we discovered that there is a mini boat that can take you from one parking area to the Boardwalk. It's really only about a 20 foot ride but we enjoyed it!
That night was Houston Texans night... we had no idea until we got there and discovered that there was no parking (hence, the reason we took the boat)! Don't be alarmed... I know that Graham and I are standing with the mascot, BUT there will be no trading of football loyalties. We will ALWAYS be Redskins fans, through and through. Since the Texans don't like the Cowboys at all though and because they're not in our conference, we figure we can be excited to pull for them if they're playing too, though.
He might be pointing to a boat? Or maybe just the water? We were trying out the night features of our camera.
