On Monday we headed to Galveston, TX. We found out quickly that coming during the week limits tourists to times and things to do. We wanted to go on a boat tour of the island, but by the time we were ready, they were done for the day. We wanted to and did rent a two person trike to drive along the seawall, but right before we were going to leave with it, the owner said they were closing early. So, things didn't go as planned, but we still had fun walking along the ocean shore and picking out seashells for Ava. Pretty much everywhere we went was NOT busy, which is nice, but makes you feel a little out of sorts with what to do!
We toured the Moody Mansion. One of the biggest houses in Galveston. It was very interesting and well worth our time.
While i found seashells....
Collin came across this. A wierd looking dead fish that has washed up. We also saw a jelly fish. Collin told me to touch it but i refused! :)
One sad thing about Galveston is their downtown. Since the hurricane Ike last September there wasn't a whole lot of stores/restaurants open yet. In one antique store they had photos up of the damage last fall. Incredible is the only word i could think of to describe it! I did run across a store named after me (i think). hehe.
We ended our day at Galveston with Chili's (YUM!) and another walk along the seawall. For those of you who don't know, the seawall is a wall/sidewalk that stretches for 10 miles along the coast of the Gulf. Very beautiful!
