Where are we going?

After Thanksgiving with the Strawder Family, Cody and I loaded up our dogs, got in the truck, and headed south. We didn't really know where we were going, but wanted to take a road trip and end up someplace at least half-way warm! We finally picked our destination of choice when we reached Dallas...let's go to Galveston Island and dip our feet in the ocean!

We stayed just south of Dallas the first night, and made it to Galveston the next afternoon. We stopped by Moody Gardens Aquarium and saw all sorts of fun creatures - sea horses, sharks, sea turtles, seals, tons of fish, and an octopus! Then we found a beach (just typed in "beach" and Carmen, the Garmin found the closest one) and went for a walk. Mazda and Mulkie Fraggle LOVED the ocean! It was tons of fun.

We experienced some authentic Texas food...we ate at Whataburger and a Mexican restaurant (although I think La Casita in Salina is the best Mexican ever). We stopped just north of Dallas to sleep on the way home, and the next morning, Cody and I made a trip to Sergeants Western World (a horse-lover's dream store). I bought some nice reins, a new headstall, and we ooogled over the show saddles. We made it home on Tuesday evening...tired, but we had a blast.

This is Cody's "Yes, I just spent 12 hours in the truck with you!" look. ;)

They played, and played, and played some more.
















A friend of mine asked if our dogs were the good photographers...lol, no, we found a nice lady to take our picture.
















Isn't is gorgeous?!!?
