Galveston.

galveston has been on our list.
my mom came and were going to go, but then ran out of time.
my siblings came and then ran out of time.
it was a top priority on the TX list of "things to do" ...then we heard things about g-town that didn't sound all that.
we were right.
brown beaches are not the most appealing thing on this earth.
it was a little trashing.
however the homes were cool...old "nola style" architecture.
i love old things. i thoroughly enjoyed driving down the streets awwwing over the cute houses.
the food was pretty good too.
visiting someplace new is always fun.

i told andrew that surprising me with a cruise and using Galveston as a decoy would be A-OKAY.
he laughed.

 

pippa took a pee in the ocean...i was a little worried that people would get mad. andrew says. their ocean is brown i don't think they care. i guess he has a point. 

crawfish po' boy

hushpuppies. basically fried cornbread. 

the coconut shrimp was bomb. so coconutty. 

texas pride goes all the south. even to galveston. 

this book! was hilar. we got a huge LOL moment in that boutique.
i may have gotten on amazon that night to buy it. 

andrew picks up a book and says "hey, that's something your mom would say!"
i'm like what book is that? ^^ lol 

i got a bag of candy. with some sour belts because i cannot find them anywhere!

overall it was an insightful day.
galveston reminded me of myrtle beach in south carolina.
but has a cooler beach town vibe.
down by the cruises was nice, however the area by the pier was slightly ghetto.
like hold on to your purse,
