So there you have it

You have now seen most of what happened in Texas.  We had a great time and who knew that we could fit so much into one weekend.  Besides an emergency trip to the ER after Pam took a fall at Target after the Groom's dinner, everything went as planned for the most part. We loved Galviston and Bubbas Shrimp Palace for dinner.  I think some of us would have eaten there every day.  Good thing we didn't find it until Sunday.  I can't wait til we go back again to visit Jake and Sherina.

More Texas



You drive over this bridge heading out of Baytown.  It was really cool to see in person.  If only we could have stopped for a good shot.
 On day two in Galveston we stopped at a neat old cemetery.  There was so much to look at.  We all split and looked...here are some of the cool things we saw.

 Check out the name here...Pete Tellefson.  Fun to find a family name.
 This is what  a lot of graves look like.
 There are canals all through the cemetery.  My assumption was for the flood waters of hurricanes.
 A whole section of the cemetery dedicated to the Masons of Galveston.





The Ants came marching



We had a great time at the grooms dinner.  There were ants every where and a picnic theme all around us.  It was so nice to meet all of Sherina's family.  Nice to see where she comes from. 

The next day we headed to the Houston Temple and waited for the happy couple to emerge ready for another party.

Galviston, we love you



We had such a great time in Galviston that we planned to come back a second day. It was great to get in the salt water and relax. Hanging in the sand was even worth the itchy part of sand. Can't wait to go back again.

WOW who took August away

It is now 8/23 and I don't feel like I have told you about any of the things that are going on in our world.  I guess tonight I will work on catching up on all of the August news. Keep tuned in, it will be worth it.

It takes a village
