Road Trip

We learned something new about Eva today...she is a fantastic car traveler! We got up this morning and decided that since it was the last Saturday before school starts we would surprise the boys with a trip to the Kemah Boardwalk. Kemah is about 2 1/2 hours away. Although we had traveled with Eva in China that was without child restraints so we really weren't sure how she would do buckled in a car seat for that long. She did beautifully! When she wasn't singing or sleeping, she was just sitting quietly.
We arrived in Kemah at lunchtime and went straight to eat at the Aquarium Restuarant surrounded by 70,000 gallons of water filled with many different species of fish. After eating our lunch, we went down to Stingray Reef and feed stingrays their lunch!!
We spent the rest of the afternoon playing boardwalk games and riding rides, including Eva's first park train ride.
Eva did great being in & out of her stroller all day. Of course it was hot out, but nothing that an ice cold Icee couldn't make feel better! The last surprise of the day was driving into Houston to the Galleria and taking the boys to the Lego Store. There we spent about 2 hours looking at ALL of the legos!! It was a great family day and a wonderful way to end the summer!!
