Surgery is Monday August 24th. A friend of our was generous enough to loan us her condo on Galveston Island for a relaxation weekend before being saddled down by surgery recovery.
Jeremy and I left Saturday morning and headed South. Everything was going smooth until we got to the other side of Houston and hit dead-stop traffic. Ugh this kind of traffic makes me antsy as crap, so I sent Jeremy on a number of back roads and crossovers. Almost two hours later, we found a way around the traffic and made it to the island. After checking into our condo and dropping our bags, we ate dinner with some family and watched some TV. I was so happy to crash in a nice comfy bed later that night.
I slept until early Sunday afternoon. I was so excited to see a Waffle House on the island, so we went there for breakfast/lunch. After I had my chocolate chip waffle, we went by the store for some odd and ends for the condo and bought a few souvenirs. We returned to the resort our condo was in and played some putt putt. I should tell you that neither one of us are very good at it, so we looked pretty stupid! lol But we still had fun and I didn't exert myself. Back at the condo, we prepared to go to Moody Gardens and ride the Colonel Paddle boat. But as we drove down the island, I started feeling sick to my stomach and we had to miss the sail time and head back to the condo. Once I was sure I was feeling better, Jeremy and I decided to simply walk along the beach. We found mussels, craps and numerous shells and took some pictures. That night, we had a quiet night on the couch, watching TV, playing on his computer and me knitting some new yarn.
Monday we were heading home. We woke u in time for lunch, but mostly hung around the condo and enjoying our last few hours of vacation. We checked out and headed for Moody Gardens to catch the Colonel today. The 'steam' paddle boat cruised around the bay for over an hour before returning to the Moody Garden pyramids. Unfortunately, everything in Moody Gardens had closed by now, so we headed off the island. We made one last stop to say high to some family in Houston and then continued on. Of course we stopped in Conroe and ate at one of my favorite places - Taco Cabana! lol After driving through back woods and country roads, we finally arrived back home around 1am. Phew!
All in all it was a fun and relaxing weekend, even if we didn't do much of anything. Check out my Facebook to see the many photos we posted from our trip!
