We went to Galveston for the first time the weekend before Christmas and had such a good time.  We had never been there and had no idea that it was so big.  Brian was out of town for work so we picked him up at the airport as soon as we got into Houston...it was Landon's lucky day though because Brian's flight in was delayed so we stopped at Bass Pro Shop in Katy on our way.  He LOVES Bass Pro Shop so much so that you would think he was in Disney World.  He gets so excited being in there he can hardly contain himself.  After picking Brian up we checked out a local Ben and Jerry's and it did not disappoint ~ very yummy!

Saturday morning we headed to Schlitterbahn, that is supposed to be indoors BUT we will just call it a covered with heavy plastic water park!  It is by no means indoors and some areas were very cold.  Getting in the lazy river was like getting in the river here in NB but the outside temperatures were also cold!  Once we got used to it, it was fine but it was not nearly as warm as I was expecting for an "indoor" water park!  The kiddie area, however was heated and felt nice but we spent a lot of time in the colder area.  We did have fun and spent about 5 hours there but not sure I would return to this location on a cold, winter day!

That evening we went to the Festival of Lights at Moody Gardens and that was GREAT!  It was a mile long walk full of Christmas lights.  This was a perfect family event. :) 

Sunday morning we returned to Moody Gardens to go to the aquarium part and of course Landon is obsessed with fish so this was right up his alley!  We will definitely return to Moody Gardens on another trip and check out all they have to offer.  Very neat place! :)

We had a great family weekend and plan on returning to Galveston again and seeing what other adventures we can find!
