Space Center!

Vinny was supposed to be out on a job, but because of Alex(the tropical storm/hurricane that made it's way into the Gulf) he is off for a little bit. So we decided to take advantage of the time and went down to the Space Center. We haven't been in about a year and they have an exhibit or to they change out and right now is Star Wars, the Clone Wars..which the boys are very much into right now. It is a little bit pricey, but they have year long membership for a year that (as long as we go a couple of times this next year) is a good deal. Seeing how we are going to get good use out of this membership we only walked around a little and let the boys play in this awesome playground the majority of the time (usually we do the opposite). They definitely had a blast playing and exploring.

We got a late start on the day and when we were ready to leave it was almost rush hour, so instead of heading for home and fighting traffic, we went the other way and headed to Galveston for some dinner. We ate at this pretty nice restaurant right on the sea wall and the food was good and the dessert was AMAZING. It was probably the best cake I've ever had..some sort of white cake with mascarpone cheese and raspberry...it seriously was delicious. After that I really wanted to walk along the beach, but because of the storm it was super windy and the tide was pretty high. Instead we finally headed for home!
