Well today was the first day of our vacation and I am lucky enough to have access to a laptop and the internet so I figured I would go ahead and update...Our first day was a trip to the beach. Weve been here before so you'd think we would be a little more prepared...Well...atleast we had our bathing suits! Chairs...nope. Umberella...nope. Sand toys...nope. Frisbee...nope. Oh well. Lane and Layla still had a blast. This was Layla's first time BTW. We started out at the pay to park Stewart beach because they had SHOWERS! We then left there and went to free beaches and got all dirty AGAIN...without showers. It was OK with me but Jackie didn't really dig the 2 hour ride home while she slowly marinated in fresh Galveston sea water. Anyway...we had fun. Here are the pictures:

| Heres our "sand castle"...the kids liked it. |
 |
| They liked being buried in sand. |
 |
| lane had a lot of fun jumping in the waves. |
 |
| Layla was still trying to get used to the waves...they usually bowled here right over. |
 |
| Lane wanted to catch a sea gull...he called them seagles. |
And a little History...It looked like Galveston is coming back nicely from Ike. There are still numerous signs that a major storm has devistated the area but if your not really looking you may not even notice. The only pics I got were of the old Balinese Ballroom that was next to Murdochs (which they've rebuilt).
How it looked pre Ike...

Now it's just a 4 X 8 pergola with the folowing sign...
