lighthouse that is near the ferry landingWe left from Crystal Beach about 1:30 yesterday afternoon and made the 15 minute drive to catch the ferry you have to drive your car on to cross over onto Galveston Island. Realizing it was Sunday and raining I knew there would be some sort of wait but never did I think we would be waiting an hour before we were able to board the ferry for the short 15 minute cruise. Of course, Maryn decided she would take a nap the entire tome we waited and was awake when we rode over on the "boat" and the rest of our trek home. This did not make for a pleasant Sunday afternoon drive.

buck 25 x 3 toll boothsWe stopped for a bathroom break and to fill up the car and then were back on our way. We went through several rainy spots but nothing to severe. We made it into San Antonio a liitle after 7:00 and decided to just stop and get dinner so it wasn't a big issue when we arrived home. Bad idea, well for me anyway. We ate a Chuy's and my stomach didn't agree with it. When we got home I got the girls ready for bed and unpacked a few things, started a load of laundry(didn't wait for it to finish) and went to bed.

It sounds like your trip was successful. I love your list of trip necessities and all the pictures.
At first I was worried you were leaving somewhere when I saw this post. Then I realized you were being sneaky and either had it saved as a draft or are back dating.
Love the photos of the kids especially Maryn's "cheese" I can hear her saying it now.
I love it!! I think Greg just needs a permanent cell phone attachment to his ear the minute he gets into the car. Maybe we could invent one and sell it for lots of $$$$$.
I realize I take too many pictures of just everyday happenings and most probably would rather not see them all but hey i'm addicted to picture taking and blogging about it.
Seriously, Greg is always on the phone in the car. I just sit there and veg while he carries on conversations about work. I'm sure you can relate, Jenny.
Greg is lucky to live with 4 beautiful girls!
