We had Mom and Dad Stone with us this past week and had ourselves a grand ol' time.
We prayed for great weather- and Houston even cooperated.
I think we succeeded in convincing them that Texas isn't all that bad ;)
We headed down to Galveston Thursday afternoon and rode the ferry...
and saw boats on our way.
Some were afloat...
and others were not...
The dolphins of course did NOT disappoint!
We got off the ferry and took a stroll on Bolivar Island...
where we saw a lighthouse,
took a walk down the jetty,
took some jumping pics,
and observed the remains of Hurricane Ike.
We rode back on the ferry...
(P.S. it's free, isn't that wonderful?)
and took a tour of the "Moody Mansion"...
the richest family on Galveston.
The house had 31 bedrooms... no big deal.
Good times in Galveston.
