Boating

We left the beach house today and headed back to Conroe. Instead of taking the straight shot way we  took the long way which includes a ferry ride. The birds we in attack mode so Michele made the kids put the crackers away. They got to see dolphins following the ferry for awhile. It was free so definitely worth the price of admission. 

A few of us walked The Strand in Galveston, which is an old historic part of town with buildings wearing badges that show they survived the monster hurricane of1900. I have no pictures of that because I'm a moron, but I do have pictures of some snacks. They had several flavors.....

Peril. Peril and danger.

The camera on my phone is terrible so you probably won't be able to see it, but in the center of the picture is an Alligator.  The girls came back to the house and said the Fish and Parks guys told them to get out of the water because there was an alligator near shore. So we had to go check it out, and sure enough, about a 6 ft dude was staying just off shore and seemed mighty interested in those birds. Since I was Captain of my High School Gator Wrestling Squad I offered to wrangle the critter, but was denied. 

Da Beach

We're here in Galveston in a house near the beach. It's nice and the beach tonight was beautiful with the full moon and all. 

And the sign on the inside of the door was a reminder of home.
