My Pics from Kemah / Galveston Texas - Our Quicky Spring Break Weekend

View from our Hotel

Kemah parkinglot

They are trying to figure out which way to go. LOL

I think that he wants to get in!

Wait!! I am free, I am Free!! I am outta here LOL :o)

Wait wrong way!!

This hotel is called the Boardwalk Inn. The only hotel in this area. A bit too pricey to stay.

Lunch here we come!!

The first picture taken from inside the restaurant. The Aquarium

This was a pasta chicken contraption. Not great, but not bad!

Hubby;s food. He actually liked his food.

This is a BBQ Pit!

Kemah Boardalk Roller Coaster

Moody Gardens

Empty cruise terminal. We did not go, but it was interesting to see.

Ahh.. We made it to the beach!!

All in all, this was a good weekend. I think that it was enough to hold me over to the BIG Vacation!!

Stay Tuned!!

Pictures and details from our Quickie trips to Kemah / Galveston, Texas are coming up soon.

Until next time!!

Ok Finally!!! Another 2 pounds down :o)

This past week was spring break for me, and I have to say that I am so proud of myself. I made a conscious effort to be mindful of what I am eating and to limit or not eat those foods that I have been a thorn in my side (i,e. Hershey's Drops, etc). LOL :o). Results: In a week 2 additional pounds lost (YEA!!!). Now the hard part is when I go back to work. There are limited places to eat, and those that are close are more fast food places, and those that are decent are too far. I can take my lunch but there are no microwaves, so I have to figure out what I can take that wont need heating or cooling. I think I will figure it out. Keep me in your thoughts :o). I think that I will be at least XX pounds lighter. At this point I will take it!

My vacation is less than 90 days away. We continue to be excited. I still have a few odds and ends to buy for the kids (i.e. clothes and shoes). Mostly because they are deciding that it is a good time to grow and have growth spurts. LOL. Not a problem, because they are healthy and happy so that works for me.

I looked on yesterday and it turned out that our flight times were changed on AirTran for the vacation. We were not upset at all, because things like that happen. It happened last year, and matter of fact, it happened twice before our vacation. Again, not a big deal. That time we were notified, not this time so far. The good thing about the change is that we were able to move seats closer to the front without paying the extra surcharge. We did pay the $6 originally for the seats. The seats we moved to were an additional $6 but we were not charged. The flight time going only changed by 59 minutes and the airplane changed from a 3X3 configuration to a 2X3 configuration. Which works for hubby. Now he will be across the aisle from us with just one other person. On the way back the flight changed to 3 minutes before the original flight, again the same configuration. Both are still non-stop so far. I am not sure if there will be additional changes, but either way, we will make it work.

Its back to work this week. Not long now before the summer. !!

Until next time :o)!

Creativity and Science Collide Inside Seuss Landing

Creativity and Science Collide Inside Seuss Landing

Ok, as I was just doing a quick looksy at information about Universal Studios, I came across the above information. On day one of our trip, we plan to visit Universal Studios. I figure we would not need a whole day so we get in about 10AM, and will probably head to that park about 2:00 PM. We had already decided to visit Island of Adventures, mostly because of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, The Spider Man ride (because Dudie loves him, even if he cant ride it), and the Hulk ride (for my two oldest - the hubby and 8 year old daughter). To see my husband and daughter doing the whole high five bit when they saw the YouTube video of that ride is priceless. So Island of Adventure it is. When I saw this blog about Seuss Landing, it just sealed it for me. Since the hubby and daughter will be off riding big rides, I think that myself and "Dudie" will make our way to Seuss Landing and take it from there.

Until next time :o)

Still just 1 pound down :-/ .... But I found a good deal at Costco (Nutrisystem)

Still trying to do this and do it right. I have actually been doing well, but I guess as long as I have not gained anything, its better than nothing. Thank God for small victories :o).

Pray for me :o)!

I was at Costco just now, and I see that for $249, you can get a 35 day supply of Nutrisystem. It includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am seriously considering this mostly because the price is awesome. I am not sure if you can choose your own foods, because I had the 2 year old with me, but if so, that would make that an even more awesome deal. Being able to choose the meals, would mean that one could be just that much more convenient. I have seen on QVC, that they have a similar package deal, but you do not get the choice of foods without paying an additional fee. In today's economy, that may or may not work out financially. I get paid soon, so I just have a few days left to decide. By the way, they also have a similar deal for 24 Hour Fitness.

I will get it together, I promise. Its my 39th  birthday month, so this will be interesting

Until, Next Time :o)

Made it to the 105 Day Mark - Made my Dream Reservations on the Cruise :o)

I stayed awake last night to make my famous reservations for the cruise. Of course some of the items are subject to change (such as the nursery). Dudie is 2 and will turn 3 the 2nd day of the cruise, and he is potty trained. As a result, he gets to go into the Oceaneers Club, but I reserved the nursery slots just in case. Of course we nailed Remy's and Palo (Yea!!). Finally, some time with the husband Alone!! :o).

My activities are below :o)
