w www.saintandy.org 409-892-8246 Finally, spring is here – and with it Spring Break. Spring Break is a time of renewal – a chance to spend hands on quality time with our kids before they return to school. What special memories will you create this year? A visit to Galveston gives you the chance to take a walk on the beach, explore Moody Gardens, and get wet at Schlitterbahn. A daytrip to Orange brings spring flowers – and nesting birds- at the Shangri La Botanical Gardens, part of the Stark Cultural Venues. The Big Thicket offers a window into what SETX looked like before settlement. The Gladys City Spindletop Museum offers a glimpse at our Boomtown days. Whatever you choose, your child will appreciate – and remember- the special time together. Enjoy Spring Break Southeast Texas.

Spring Break

at Moody Gardens Galveston

Are you looking for a great Southeast Texas family Spring Break getaway? Jump on the Bolivar Ferry in Crystal Beach and Head to Moody Gardens. What’s new at Moody Gardens?

The new Discover the Ice Age Exhibit let’s your family experience the conditions of the Ice Age. Observe the unique animals that walked the earth during this time and learn how our human ancestors adapted to the frozen world. What does the future hold for the Earth’s climate? Find out in this special exhibit. Moody Gardens will begin showing Secret Ocean by Jean-Michel Cousteau on March 7th. The entire theater has been upgraded using 6P Projector Technology – 6 primary laser projection. Expect far more vivid colors and a new enhanced 3-D glasses experience. Don’t miss a visit to the Rainforest Pyramid. This exhibit is different every time our family visits. Where’s the sloth? Will the ocelot make an appearance? Will there be butterflies? Once we got lucky and they were feeding the anaconda a rabbit – the boys loved it.

Relax and let your work week cares melt away with a ride on the Colonel Paddlewheel Boat. See Galveston’s brown pelicans, roseate spoonbills, and beautiful waterfront homes. Moody Gardens offers Southeast Texas families a chance to step into the pages of National Geographic or into a Discovery Channel TV show. This is one local resource you won’t want to take for granted. Create special family memories during Spring Break at Moody Gardens.

“Escape to Sour Lake Ford for a Mommy Mobile with More” The Ford Escape is winning impressive reviews from Moms for providing a great mix of “Need” and “Want”. First off, women overwhelmingly praise the Ford Escape as “fun to drive.” As moms, we spend so much time in our cars – dropping kids at school, heading to work, running errands, picking kids up from school, soccer practice, music practice, and getting everyone home in time to do it all again tomorrow. An SUV being truly fun to drive can really affect our entire outlook on the day.

Next is the category lots of car reviewers lead with, particularly when writing for women- the styling. We felt the drivability

Finally, the Ford Escape has great technology: • Bluetooth • USB Port • Ford’s Sync with My Ford system, which allows you to use voice commands to control a connected smart phone- great for moms that need to keep both hands on the wheel.

was more important for our SETX Moms, so we started there, but there is no getting around it- this is a good looking SUV. It has a lot of the space and features we associate with mini-vans, but the look and fun of a sporty SUV.
