Mini Break Holiday
Jeff and I just returned form a mini break holiday with the Kennedy's and company, staying at a beach house on Galveston Beach.We flew out Wednesday after work and after a minor flight delay and weird people at the car rental, we arrived at the beach house around 3:00 AM. After a good nights sleep, we set out for a day of sea turtle visiting and ice cream with Julie, her husband Chris and 3 boys and Karen and Paul with their 2, and then some delicious Texas BBQ with Julie's parents.
Friday the boys went out for a round of golf and the girls stayed at the beach house, relaxing in the gulf, getting some R&R on the beach and playing with the kids. I must say, our godson Boris is a water maniac, the kid almost has gills! When the boys got back we had some lunch the back to the beach. Dinner was a traditional cookout with lots of beer. After dinner, Dawn and her daughter came over for the weekend (Dawn used to live in the UK and her daughter played with Ailsa).
On Saturday we had a family breakfast along with some visiting. Lunch was at a seafood place on the beach, where Julie and her family departed. We returned to the house for some more beach time where Dawn's boyfriend and his daughter joined us. After dinner, more friends of Karen's, Bronwyn and David came over for trivia death match.
Sunday we just took the morning off and then went for lunch. From there Jeff and drove back to Houston to catch our flight home, but not without a few tears. I'm going to miss having the Kennedy's so close. Even though they live in England, moving to Abu Dhabi seems so far away.
It was a great weekend, we had a wonderful time with everyone. I wouldn't have traded this weekend for anything.
