4th of July Road Trip!

Nico's first ROAD TRIP!

4th of July morning, Peter and I decided to take our first family road trip to the beaches of Texas, Galveston to be exact. We were a little hesitant due to the bad weather and HURRICANE ALEX that hit a little south of Texas earlier in the week. We did not catch one drop of rain!
We got some traffic as we drove through Houston...one of the many not so good things that we have heard about the city. When we finally crossed into Galveston, we found it to be a run-down, abandoned version of what we think new orleans looks like. There were some restaurants in the Old downtown Square all had balconies and terrace areas. We saw fireworks from one terrace top.
We stayed at the Hotel Galvez and Spa: http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/GLSHG/main.wnt?cid=ROMGWD
Nico saw fireworks for the first time!
Nico got to hang out in the ocean and in the pool.
He got to go on his first bike ride!
Hear is a slide show of our Road Trip =)

Happy Birthday America!!!

Be kinder than necessary, everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

When you help someone up a hill, you get that much closer to the top yourself.
