The new Galveston Pier, hitting it up this summer for sure. It’s beautiful.
It’s been a while since we dined at Willie G’s. A friend wanted lobster for her birthday so a group of us gathered there. The weather was lovely so we chose outdoor seating, a special treat with the Elissa temporarily docked nearby. The extensive wine list provided both the red and white wine lovers among us many fine choices and we savored some while we perused the menu.
Possibly the coolest thing in Texas…

This mansion is located about 30 minutes away from me in Galveston, Texas, so if any of you ever get the chance to visit this amazing state, I highly recommend you go here for a tour. It’s beyond beautiful!

I found this to be a fascinating photo of a disaster that many people have forgotten.
“The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 is to date the deadliest natural disaster ever to strike the United States. By contrast, the second-deadliest storm to strike the United States, the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, caused more than 2,500 deaths, and the deadliest storm of recent times, Hurricane Katrina, claimed the lives of approximately 1,800 people.” (Source)
Hopefully we have learned important lessons from all of these in terms of how to protect people and decrease loss of life.
