Our 1st Family Vacation Last Day

On the last morning of our wonderful family vacation adventure the Diva decided 4 am was an appropriate time to be awake and playing.  I finally got the little nut back to sleep around 5:30.  I decided to again have my coffee and breakfast out on the balcony to watch the sun rise and get light enough so I could head out for a run on the sea wall.  Another really cool thing about this condo is it is about 1/4 of a mile off of the sea wall.  So just a little walk on the beach and your on the sea wall and ready for a run.  I have been wanting to go for a run all week on the sea wall but I have been sidelined with in injury.  I felt pretty good this morning so I decided to go for it.  So as soon as the sun came up and it got light enough I was off.

This is the start of my run.  You can see the Sea Wall on the very far left side of the picture.

I loved every minute of my run that morning.  As much as I have enjoyed spending so much togetherness with my kiddos it was so nice to get out by myself for a run.  All to soon my run came to an end and I had to get back to the condo to get everything packed up so we could check out.  Thomas was feeling better this morning but still not great.  But we had promised Eli a "boat" trip today.  By boat trip I mean a Duck Tour.  So I had to get everything packed up and loaded up so we could check out at 9 and get to the Duck tour before they headed out at 9:30.

The duck tour takes you all over Galveston Island, on land and in the water.  It's a very informative tour about the history of the island of other interesting facts.  If you are looking for a fun Galveston tour I highly recommend this tour.

Hannah Joy also enjoyed the tour.  She enjoyed it so much she fell asleep. After the tour we headed to one of mine and Thomas' favorite restaurants on the island, Fishtails.  Not sure why we like this one so much but usually we like to sit out side on the patio but we decided that we were to hot after the Duck Tour so we ate inside this time.  
Hannah Joy thought she would learn to drive while we waited for Fishtales to open.

After lunch we head back to Spring.  Hannah Joy, Eli and I all fell asleep on the drive back.  We had a wonderful time on our first family vacation.  I am already looking forward to our next vacation!
