Spring Break Galveston

Galveston Seawall rocks. (Hee hee--double meaning there.)


Galveston Seawall - this is the seawall that the storm surge overtopped during Hurricane Ike.Moody Gardens Above is the visitors center. In the visitors center is the IMAX theater. We saw the Sharks 3-D movie. It was fantastic--easily the best 3-D movies I've ever seen. There are three pyramids: the Discovery Pyramid (which, honestly, was kinda lame), the Aquarium, and the Rainforest Pyramid. The Rainforest wasn't open yet. It's scheduled to reopen at the end of April. The IMAX had just opened the Saturday before we were there. Their basement had completely flooded and they'd lost all their equipment in Hurricane Ike.



The Colonel Paddlewheel boat. It goes around the back bay area behind Moody Gardens. It's a nice easy ride.




The boys on the boat. They were pretty bored by this time. You can only watch a paddlewheel for so long. And they know better than to feed the sea gulls--unlike many of the other tourists on the boat.

Sounds like it was a really fun Spring Break! We have one more week of torture until our spring break, but we're not going anywhere.
