What color was Oscar the Grouch in the first season of Sesame Street??

That was the question that Eric and I asked on a radio trivia contest the first week of Spring Break. We stumped the panel and won 4 free all-access tickets to moody gardens in galveston! We also had enough Best Western Rewards Card for a free nights stay in Galveston. So... we decided to make use of our mini free vacation on Thursday night/Friday. We also went to Houston for the rest of Easter. Here are the higlights from the weekend.

1. Went to the hotel and bought sandwiches and sat on the steps on the seawall for dinner. (Leah was a bit freaked out by the waves at first!)
2. Free breakfast at the hotel with Texas Shaped Waffles! (A Bailee high light!)
3. Moody Gardens Aquarium with hardly any people in the place. We had a blast looking at the fish and seals and penguins. The girls are becoming quite the aquarium experts... Las Vegas, New Orleans, Galveston... This one was really cool.
4. The 4D movie about being in the sea. A 4D movie is a 3D movie where they add things like water spraying you in the face, air shooting out at you, things poking you in the back, etc. It was really cool. (NOt so much for Leah... probably should have warned her what was going to happen!)
5. Lunch at Shrimp and More with the Lewis family! (The only thing we paid for that whole day) It was so much fun to see them and Aleesa had the scoop on a great place to eat. It was awesome.
6. The movie ride, 3D movie, boat ride, and bone discovery room at Moody Gardens. (All fun and all free thinks to our tix)
7. Time with Gam, PawPaw, Jim, Jenny, Emily, and Elliot. Eric pulled Emily's front tooth! We ate lots of great food and Eric and Jim took the girls to see Hannah Montana movie so my mom and I could go piddle and shop a bit. The Easter Bunny came and hid eggs at the house and the girls had a really good day!

Overall it was a great weekend. WE really do have a wonderful family and are blessed! :)

Oh, and the answer to the trivia question is ORANGE!

Pics coming very soon! :) :)
