Moody Gardens with Andersons

On Monday we went to Moody Gardens with the Andersons. We had not ever been there before so this was our maiden trip to see what was there. We were very happy that we could go there with the Andersons because we had a great time with them. Since we live close to the area and for a marginal amount more than a day pass, we decided to get a family year pass so we can go back later as well. While we were there we were able to visit a Titanic display that had actual items that were retrieved from the wreckage. We were not allowed to take any pictures in that display, but it was very interesting to learn more about that tradegy.

Brett, Jared, Sarah, Lori and Ryan at the Rainforest Pyramid. We learned that they build the pyramids because they can withstand any hurricane that might hit Galveston.

Lynn and Sarah in the shark cage. By the look on Sarah's face I think she believes she is in jail.

After our day at Moody Gardens the kids talked us into taking them to the Rainforest Cafe in Galveston for dinner. This is Ryan, Jared, Sarah and Brett waiting for their food.
