Hamm Family Cruise: Galveston

Grant and I and the kids drove to Galveston on Sunday in the Prius. We were a bit packed, but the kids were great on the drive and enjoyed our stop at DQ to get lunch and ice-cream. It was a slightly rough start to the trip because Grant was dealing with some stressful work issues. The kids had also been SOOOO excited about seeing the beach, but when we arrived in Galveston it was already dark, plus it was rainy and cold. Cadie was brave enough to take a quick dip in the slightly heated hotel pool while Ranger and I huddled under towels in a lawn chair. Cadie and Ranger and I then connected with DD and Big John and hung out in their room while we waited for Grant to get off a work conference call. After the call, the 4 of us were hungry so we found a great local restaurant for dinner and then back to the hotel for rest before boarding the boat on Monday. Cadie had a cough so she slept in our room, and JR slept in DD and Big John's room.

After hours in the car together, these two were still on top of each other in the hotel room! Crazy kids.
