our vacation--last november

I thought June would be a good time to recap our November vacation. :)

In Ty's residency program, they alternate getting either Thanksgiving or Christmas off and you take the entire week off. This past year Ty had Thanksgiving off and we decided to make a little trip before heading to our hometown to Thanksgiving. Ty's sister and brother-in-law moved to Houston a year or so ago and we had never had a chance to visit them. We decided to drive to Houston to see them and then drive on to Galveston to spend some time. I found a great condo to rent on VRBO and we were so excited! Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate! We experienced temperatures in the 30s and 40s, and constant down pours. Not quite what we had in mind. The week after we left, Galveston experienced temperatures in the low 70s. We still managed to have a good time.

A rousing game of peek-a-boo on our road trip.

Interrupting cousin Emerson's bath!

Jack had a blast at Ikea. Ty took a video of Jack running and hiding in the warehouse area of Ikea and we still love to watch it. He just laughs and laughs in the video and it is the sweetest sound!

There are way too many pictures of our condo and the resort lobby on here, but I loved the decor and overall feel of both.

Jack loved the beach and tried several times to run right into the water.

Visiting Moody Gardens

The morning we left was the first time we saw the sun on our trip. The weather had cancelled family beach pictures I had set up with a photographer, but I was determined to make it down to the beach to at least take some self-timer photos. It was so cold! We literally threw our coats on the ground, snapped a few pictures and bundled back up.

We hope to take Jack to a much warmer beach later this summer!
