Most people who are off on vacation have taken the time to make reservations, and perhaps get directions to where they are going.... most people are NOT the Perez' or at least not the female (me) part of the Perez', however as much as my guy wishes I would plan our outtings a bit better, I think he likes the spontaneity and excitement that comes with our adventures.
So, we are off to Galveston Tx, a tourist type town on a Saturday, running the risk of sleeping in our van as we wait to boat our "Fun Ship" on Sunday, well, God sure loves us and continues to bless us, I began calling around hotels, that I found on the GPS on Lee's phone, and Moody Gardens was IT!! We did have some other choices, BUT, we did not want to park our car at the cruise ship terminal, we were not sure just how secure it really is, and well Moody Garden's won, they offered a GREAT room, with cruise ship parking, and a shuttle to the terminal, and BACK!!! oh, and the car parking was VALET....WOW, that was exciting, I asked out Valet guy, who I think was David, if he could infact drive a stick, cus our car is a standard (yes they still make them)
And, the blessings just continued to FLOW..... as we are handing over the keys to the valet we ran into a co-worker of my husbands who was hosting a marriage retreat there at Moody Gardens, and had extra tickets to the attractions, don't you know I was sooo excited, Lee on the other hand knew that any hopes of a nap he had were quickly out the window!! We visited EVERYTHING there was to visit.... actually we did miss the aquarium, however, we visited the Rainforest Pyramid, which was very cool.
Here is the funny part about our visit to Moody Gardens, or at least I thought it was funny, We visited the Titanic display, which featured artifacts from the Titanic, and ended the evening with an IMAX movie called Titanica, what a blast to view the Titanic exhibit and then the movie, the night before we leave to board our own cruise ship, however I don't think anyone is naive enough anymore to say that the ship is "unsinkable". I was quite amused with the fact that that was how we spent our evening!
