Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world

When I was little, I was OBSESSED with the Beach Boys. I made my parents play this one Beach Boys tape every time that we went on a road trip. So in honor of our family beach trip, I feel that a Beach boys title is only fitting : )
Last weekend we had our yearly Brown family vaca. On Friday everyone came in. We ate a quick dinner here and then the adults (thank you Natalie for babysitting!) went downtown to the Toyota center for the Michael Buble concert! We love him!


Then on Saturday we drove down to Galveston...well kind of outside of Galveston to this great resort called Pointe West. I would recommend staying there but would suggest bringing insect repellent! There were lots of mosquitoes. We spent time swimming in the pool that overlooked the ocean, playing in the waves, running away from seaweed, building sand castles, cooking, eating and spending wonderful quality time together!

Erin leading the way to the beach..it was her first time back since she was 3 or 4 months old.

and she LOVED it!
