Galveston 2012! Vacation Day 3

On our third and final day on the island we slept in, ate breakfast and then checked out of the hotel. We drove around a bit and then stopped at a different stretch of beach that we hadn't explored before so that we could get out, take pictures and say "Bye Bye" to the ocean.

Listening to the ocean and how the sound changes when he plugs his ears.

 

My camera fogged up from the change in temperature from our air-conditioned car to the hot humid air outside. Most of the photos were too foggy to use since the camera couldn't focus well through the foggy lens but some of the last photos I took were salvageable due to the fog starting to clear. I had to do a lot of editing to help it though!

 Ahh....the power of shooting in RAW format + the magic of Photoshop. I love it. The point-and-shoot is great for worry free time while swimming on the beach but I love the power of an SLR.

Ethan loves the ocean and was so excited to see it again. He enjoyed pointing out the water, birds, and airplanes.

His enjoyment faded once he realized that we were just saying "bye" to the ocean and not swimming. Poor kid!

It was so muggy that once we got back to the car we were hot and tired and decided to stop by Rita's again for one last shaved ice before we left the island for College Station.

Morgan got a signature custard and ice

I got a blend of two ice flavors. Swedish Fish and Coconut. The coconut was amazing!

Ethan opted for chocolate teddy grahams instead of sharing with Mama.

Goodbye Galveston! In the words of Ethan, "Bye bye, miss you, see soon!"
