Galveston Island

My hubby and I just love going to the beach.  Not sure if it is the sound of the waves, the smell of the salty air or just looking out over the ocean and see the end of nowhere or all the above!!!  Oh....the sunrises and sunsets are awesome too :o)
We mainly spent one day on the beach and riding the ferry to Bolivar and back. 
Another day of sightseeing on the island.....shopping....sunning...etc....!!!!
There is so much history here.....more than I really knew.  My head is so filled up with info and sights of this wonderful island that I don't know how I can put all of it on here. (will have to work on that soon)!
We stayed at a place called Gaido's Seaside Inn with an oceanfront view.  That place has been there for a long time and the people that run the place are so kind and friendly.....especially an awesome lady named Wanda!  She makes the greatest coffee there and makes sure you get a good breakfast there at the Inn. 
On our second day there, we were searching for the trees that were destroyed during the hurricane and were carved into awesome sculpture's on the island. 
Just had to add that last pic!!  That dog was carved out of one of the broken trees and the awesome people that live there dressed him up.  GO TEXANS!!!

This is a pic of the Pleasure Pier that has taken the place of the Flagship Hotel that was destroyed in the hurricane.
I know....I need a better camera!  Saving up for one so I can put up better pics!


 These are just a few of the pics we took, but just wanted to share a little with ya'll.
Wishing ya'll a beautiful day!!
