We visited the Brock family in Houston, TX this past week. We drove down from Chattanooga and stayed the night in Louisiana then finished the drive to Houston the next morning. Alyssa got a stomach virus and was sick the whole drive! It turned out to just be a 24 hour bug, thank goodness.

We spent 3 of our days in Galveston, TX enjoying the beach and the good food. As it turns out, Alyssa gave mom her stomach bug because mom spent half of the time in Galveston sick in the hotel room! Alyssa really enjoyed being at the beach. She loved playing in the sand and being able to run around freely. However, she would not go near the ocean water. She made a few attempts, but each time a wave got close she would turn and run away screaming!

Thank you so much Grandad Brock for bringing us down, we had a wonderful time!

We had a trip to the Chattanooga Zoo today since we haven't been in a while. It was a very nice day. Alyssa had fun running around seeing all the monkeys, tigers (which are actually Snow Leopards) and birds. We leave for Houston/Galveston in 2 days and are very excited to go relax on the beach for a few days!
