Galveston - part 1

Early October we went on a trip to Houston/Galveston (we had to go to the Dutch Consulate to renew our Dutch passports, something we have to do every 5 years).

The Houston skyline

Straight to the beach in Galveston!
The condo we stayed at in the background...it was right on the beach!
 He absolutely loved the water and waves!

 

 Looking for treasures...
 

Treasures found! Shells, crab pinchers etc...Gabriel loved it!
Monday morning sunrise...the view from the condo was incredible!

Fishing for Gabriel's swimming trunks...


Hiding in this fun 'table'... 

 We spent most of the day at Moody Gardens.

 Gabriel's new friend, the giant river otter...he loved it!



Inside the Rainforest Pyramid








 Found the sloth!




 The Colonel

Climbing a tree while waiting to board the boat.
 

  


 

 Next, we went to see a 4D movie, the wizard of Oz (a shortened version of the Wizard of Oz with special effects like real water drops, stuff hitting your legs and poking you in the back - very fun)!
 

 
Next was a dinosaur movie in 3D and then the Aquarium Pyramid.





 Gabriel and the same shark 5 years ago!
