Christmas in Galveston

Kelly's company has a beach house in Galveston that they allow their employee's stay in for the holidays(and other times)via a raffle. We were lucky enough to win the raffle for the Christmas Holidays this year. So, we went down to the beach house the weekend before Christmas until Christmas Day.We stopped at Kemah on the way to Galveston. Here is a new roller coaster that they will be finished with soon. It looked a little rickety to me.
We love to eat at Saltgrass, so we just had to take a picture of the one there.
Here is the souvenir shop with all the usual knickknacks.
They had a train that traveled around the whole place which you could ride on. We didn't get on it since we had the stroller with us.
We ate lunch at a seafood restaurant called Babin's that was across from the railroad tracks.
Above is the view from our table at Babin's.
Here is a shot of the amusement park near the boardwalk.
This is the official entrance to the boardwalk area.
Here is an old Kemah police car on the boardwalk. Unfortunately, you couldn't get in it.
Here is a shot of some boats that were cruising near the boardwalk.
Here is Kelly and Addison on the boardwalk. Addison was starting to get sleepy at this point.
We had a hard time getting Addison to look at the camera with my picture.
The Santa they had at the boardwalk took off on his Harley about the same time we were leaving. He was going the same way we were so we took a few shots.
Here is another one of Santa when he was following us.
Here is a shot of Moody Gardens as we were driving to the beach house.
Here is a picture of the ocean from Seawall Road. I didn't realize they had little to no barriers preventing you from driving off the seawall into the ocean.
