Chris had a business trip to Houston and so I got to tag along and spend the weekend before the work began with him. We chose to stay in Galveston, thinking the beach would be nice and even if it was cool at least we would be able to walk on it and enjoy the scenery. What we did not count on was the rain and fog. The entire weekend was pretty miserable weather wise but we muddled through and made our way about town. The first night there we feasted on shrimp at a local restaurant—Willie G’s —and enjoyed the sights outside.
Texas Shrimp Cocktail
Shrimp 4 ways–unfortunately most of it was fried.
Lights in Willie G’s were works of art!
Lots of boats, oil rigs and cruise ships in Galveston
Memorial to victims of the 1900 storm
This man was feeding the seagulls and had quite a crowd around him.
You can see how foggy it was from this picture of a little guy playing.
Perhaps my favorite picture of the day–two boys who gave up fishing and were going home.
Birds on a fence
More delicious shrimp!
Even if the weather was miserable it was still a nice getaway and much needed after a frazzling Christmas travel schedule where weather did not cooperate with our plans. I ate shrimp for almost every meal while we were there and basically was in a shrimp coma the entire weekend.
The thing that I wanted to leave you with was what Chris sang to me all weekend…..you are welcome. Enjoy the song headache. With my love.
