After Space Center Houston we headed further south to the beach. We stayed down in Jamaica Beach and it was great. Not crowded at all and the beach was clean and pretty.
Our villa was on the 3rd floor and we had great views of the bay.
The villa was huge with two bedrooms and bathrooms plus the living areas. It was like an apartment.
Another view of the bay. From the back desk you could see the gulf.
Friday evening we went to Galveston for dinner at Chick-fil-a on the seawall. After we walked down to the beach and the kids played in the water.
The water was pretty rough while we were there.
The next morning after an early breakfast at the villa we headed across the street to the beach. It was just us and few joggers for a long time. We stayed at the beach for several hours before heading back to the villa for lunch. After lunch we drove into Galveston and checked out the strand. We did a little shopping and Bradley and the kids had a sweet treat at La King's. I was glad they still had the old ice cream chairs and tables I remember from when I was a kid. We headed over to the mainland for dinner (not many options in Galveston for Cason) and checked out a few stores while over there too. Then that evening we spent more time on the beach swimming and collecting tons of hermit crabs. Cason had a "herd" of them.
We found several of these blue eye jelly fish floating in the water Saturday evening.
Lots hermit crabs were caught and released.
Cason found a fishing pole for wieners and marshmallows. Of course he bought it.
On the steps of La Kings!
The Coast Guard flew right over us twice making their morning run down the coast. We had a great time at the beach!
