Galveston Getaway!

Wow it has been a long time since I've written anything! I'm very sorry for being away so long. Work has kept me plenty busy and on top of that my computer completely died. I finally have a new beautiful laptop/tablet! It seems like most of the laptops I looked at had touchscreens so I thought I might as well do a tablet with a detachable keyboard. I'm super excited! Now can someone teach me how to work around in Windows 8?? Anyways, the last I wrote was about the 4th of July. That feels like forever ago and yesterday all at the same time! Well I still have a few things to catch you up on. First of all was a weekend getaway that we spent in Galveston! Us and some friends decided to rent a beach house for the weekend. Best idea ever!! We were 3 blocks from the beach, made all of our meals, and spent the weekend lounging on the beach relaxing. We didn't have to drive very far and we didn't have to worry about having a long list of to-dos like we normally do on vacation.

Our beach house for the weekend!

Beach!

We went to a candy store on the strand and we actually got to see them make taffy!

Jonathan played chess with a stranger while we cheered him on.
There was a zombie walking around advertising a haunted house in the area, pretty random...

Rachel made a friend...

Colleen and Christine excitedly cheered on Jonathan...

and I found a blue tree! Quite an exciting day even without the chess game!



Plus, Jonathan won his game and I caught in on camera!

We ended the weekend at the Spot with a great view of the beach.
It was incredibly windy so I was glad to just have a beach view and not actually be on the beach.

It was the best weekend. Super relaxing and a blast! We might have to make this a yearly thing...
