We live about 3  1/2 hours from the gulf coast and its not very often that we go. Yesterday just happened to be one of those. Day Trippers! …

Not only did we get to travel to the coastal area of Texas, but we also traveled through the national forests such as the Big Thicket. It’s on our to do list to go hiking and camping there (oh and to spot Sasquatch…he’s been rumored to have been spotted in the Big Thicket). I should really get out and enjoy these areas around me! and the coast (I know the Gulf’s waters are pretty brown, so what) was really beautiful. I love being on the beach and being able to enjoy nature. I think this time of year is the best time to go as the water is nice and cool, it tends to be a lot warmer in the summer time. Doing donuts in the sand was fun, just don’t piss off any old crotchety men…which we did. I recommend the Bolivar Peninsula and the beaches there. But if you want to go to Galveston island, it’s just a ferry’s trip away.

Now…to apply more aloe vera gel. Yes, the sun can be beautiful and cruel…
