Y’all know that this past weekend Nathan and I were invited to go to the surprisingly historical city of Galveston for a weekend of fun, food, Magic and Music.
I took 800 + pictures.
Made new friends, reconnected with a couple of old ones, hugged an old one for the first time and spent the first weekend sans kids with my husband since having kids.
There was a plethora of ridiculously awesome food
There was a lot- a lot- a LOT of laughter
There was a Haunted Building
There was a gorgeous new Carnival Cruise Ship
And
There was this guy, you might have heard of him
He is the lead singer of a little band called Maroon 5.
We had fantastic standing room only seats on Pier 21 for a very special concert put on by Maroon 5 to celebrate the launch of the Carnival Magic.
This clip of video is from my iPhone, there were some SUPER excited SUPER fans all around us, so please excuse the fact that it isn’t terribly stable![]()
There is so much more to share, but my internet is being obnoxious and I have 927 things to do to prepare for Princess’ 8th birthday on Friday and her party Saturday. {hold me}
ftc stuff: Our travel, food and accomodations were provided by Carnival and The City of Galveston Tourism. I am not required to, nor was I asked to write about this in exchange for the trip. Everything I share with y’all, I share because it excited, intrigued, interested or appealed to me.
