Day 2 Galveston

 We had this great idea to ride the ferry from Galveston to this other little island.  It turned out to be this big fiasco.  We got a little bit of a late start with all of our families, and by the time we got to the ferry there was about a 2 hour line.  We finally get onto the ferry and on our way off the ferry we see the line to get off the island - it was miles long!  We were all so bummed that we had decided to do the ferry!  We left the new island a few hours later and luckily the line had gotten much shorter so it wasn't too long of a wait on the way home, phew!
 Checking out the views from the top deck of the ferry.  There were tons of working boats and cruise ships on the ocean. 
 We were looking so hard for dolphins, the main reason we wanted to do the ferry was to see the dolphins.  Nothing on the way there!

 We finally got to the beach and the kids were so ready to just run!


                        The boys were having the best time flying kites and searching for shells.


                    Blakely is so stinking cute!  She was such a trooper sleeping and eating on the go!
                           Back on the ferry for the ride home.  We were so hoping to see dolphins!

 Success - a dolphin!  We actually saw quite a few, and up close, but this was the best picture I got.  See the dolphin fin?

           After the ferry we headed back to our house and ate dinner at home, it was a great day!
