2014 Trip to Bolivar Peninsula (Galveston) Crystal Beach!

It was August 1st and we were off!  New car, stuffed to the gills, with dvds and 3 sweet babies.

The drive was not too long (less than 6 hours!) and on the first day, we got settled in and spent a little time on the sand.

The next morning (and all mornings!) I was the first up out of bed (with my monkey girl)..and I got to enjoy this view.  Not bad, not bad!

Molly loved the sand and the water.  This pic is of her after she just walked out and sat in the little chair for quite some time, all by herself.

Much of our time on the beach was spent collecting hermit crabs.  You could reach down into the sand when standing out in the water and come up with a handful of them.

Molly took several beach naps.  Awesome.

One night, we got to go out to eat without kids!  It was fun Smile (Thank you Nonnie and Poppy!)

Sweet Nora was walking all over.

I took this picture to send to my coworker.  She has a picture of a beach and marked a place in the sand “My spot.”  So I sent her “my spot.”  When I got back to work she had this one hanging! Smile
