Mom and Spencer visit

We had a lot of fun while my mom and Spencer were here. I felt like we drove A LOT, but that's kind of how things go around here. Everything is so spread out. Unfortunately I took very few pictures, but I got a few good ones. 

My favorite thing we did was take a trip to Galveston. It's about 2ish hours away, but we had a lot of fun and it was worth the drive. First we went to the beach and looked for some shells had a nice little walk along the shore. I had a little container to put the shells in and Emery loved it. She would get about 4 or 5 in there and then lean over to pick another one up and they would all dump out. She kept doing it over and over. It was hilarious. 

 It was a bit breezy which made it a little chilly, but the sun was shining and they sky was beautiful.
See, we're a bit cold:

After that we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., and that was delicious. Then we took a tour of one of the old mansions on Galveston, Bishop's Palace. It was incredible. Here's a picture I snagged from their website so you have an idea of what it looked like:

Isn't that gorgeous? The inside was so detailed with expensive wood lining everything, and marble fireplaces, and stained glass windows. It was built from 1887-1892. The original owners were the Gresham family, they were one of the first families in Galveston. Eventually they moved out and a Catholic Bishop and his two sisters moved in, hence the name Bishop palace. I love touring old houses!

Emery was definitely spoiled by her Grandma while she was here. And Emery was loving every minute of it. This is a goofy picture of Emery (I promise she usually does wear clothes and her hair is usually fixed...not that you'd know that if you read this blog) but I think it's a super pretty picture of my mom:

Emery is obsessed with those gold jellies my mom bought. She's always bringing them to me saying "shosss, shooosss", wanting me to put them on her. 

We love people to visit us, so if you need a place for your next family vacation, COME ON DOWN TO TEXAS!
