What a great way to start summer! One of my favorite hotels, The San Luis in Galveston ran a special for Monday night, and since we have no vacation plans, I decided to surprise G. with a one night getaway.

When we checked in, we were notified that we had been upgraded to a VIP penthouse suite! It was a lovely room with jars of m&ms, Hershey kisses, and snickers right outside our door from 11-on and fresh fruit in the morning. Perfect for a boy with a sweet tooth.
That night we went swimming in the pool and had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. G was amazed that you could ride a boat inside (even though the ride was a bit dark and scary).
He couldn't wait to get to the beach, so that night we went for a walk in the waves.
When we got up the next morning, there was a notice saying we could stay another night at half price, which meant we could spend the entire day at the beach! This is my favorite "private" beach in Galveston...the sand is superfine but there is a lot of seaweed.
I splurged and let G. build a "stuffy" at the Rainforest Cafe's Build a Bear. He picked a stingray, which he named Gregory!
I was afraid coming home would be a let down after two days at the beach and riding the boat at Rainforest each night....not to mention all the sweets a boy could ever want, but he was surprisingly happy to be home with his watermelon, milk and straws this morning.
