We woke up very early and only had one cup of coffee before we left our condo long before the sun came up. We were on a mission to watch the Carnival Magic sail into Galveston. We drove from the condo to Port San Jacinto Historic Point in hopes of seeing her arrive there. But we were too late!!! We quickly turned around and made our way to Pier 21. What a majestic sight she is!!!
We went back to the condo to see if Dawson was awake and to have some breakfast. We also needed to make sure we had everything packed and ready to go for our move to Quality Inn. Since we had several hours between checking out of the condo and checking into our new hotel, we decided to first stop at the beach at the condo. We had some bread left so we decided we could use that to feed the birds!!! Once again, the beach was not crowded at all. The birds were very happy to see us. A sand crab even came out to say hello!
From there, we went back to the pier area so Dawson could get his first look at the ship!!! She is HUGE!!! And so very beautiful.
We spent the rest of the morning eating lunch and doing some laundry before we were able to check in to the Quality Inn. The hotel is clean and conveniently located.
I had won tickets to the Maroon 5 concert, then I won VIP tickets to see the concert from the balcony at Willie G’s. And what a view it was. So much fun. At one point during the concert, you could see dolphins playing in the harbor as Adam Levine was singing!
We didn’t say for the entire concert since Dawson was alone at the hotel. When we got back, we decided we would have dinner at Tortuga’s which is at the front of the hotel. This makes the third Mexican restaurant we tried since we arrived on the 10th!!! We all agreed that it would not hurt our feelings if we did not go back there.
After taking in some sights around the hotel, we decided to call it a night.
In tomorrow’s installment, we finally board the Carnival Magic!!!!
