Jon and I took advantage of our neighbor, Megan, being home from college and available to nanny again this summer and went on a quick little weekend trip to Galveston, TX. We literally picked it based on the cheapest flight from Des Moines with a beach location but it ended up pretty fun! We got a hotel on the beach and enjoyed many hours just reading by the pool or on the beach and cooling off in the water. We also enjoyed going for walks along the beach in the evenings and looking out at the ocean during our dinners. We ate at one shack right on the beach that was beautiful scenery but the food took FOREVER and was mediocre at best. Another restaurant, Saltgrass Steakhouse, looked out over the ocean but was on the other side of the street and enclosed. It was DELICIOUS though! We even went a second time for lunch the next day!
We went on a dolphin watching boat tour and actually got to see several dolphins swimming around us, which was really cool! I loved it! We also saw an old shipwreck and the boat ride in general was pretty enjoyable. Another day we rented a pedal golf cart thing. It was actually kind of difficult and it was crazy hot outside but we got some exercise in and enjoyed biking down the seawall!
It's been so fun the last two years to finally be able to take some couples trips together! We love our kiddos but spending that time one on one is really so important and always helps us connect and feel stronger together!
