Adventures in Galveston with The Aubuchons

Day 11 ~  What an afternoon/evening we had .........
We had such an adventure Sunday in Galveston.  It all started when Joe took over the captain's chair with Barb as his co-pilot.

Thier first time in a Motorhome !

We started out crossing the beautiful Fred Hartman Suspension Bridge, Hwy 146, Baytown, Texas.



We saw many properties still damaged from Hurricane Ike, Sept. 2008; but Joe is sure he and Barb can fix this restuarant up by spring break this year.  The resturant has the best beach on Galveston Island because of the world's biggest shells.......





....but sincerely, the historical memorial to victims of the 1900 storm on Galveston Island they posed for is stunning; I think Gregory was just a baby then.....  Am I right Barb?  just kidding


Dan and Joe put on the wetsuits Barb kepts in her Ford Explorer and rode the surf.......
The dude on the wave is Joe.  Dan will be up for the next wave...


Dan and I are seriously looking at this Flagship Hotel as the next job for Builders, Inc. for 2011........


While Dan and Joe were busy in the surf, Barb and I went for a cruise on each of the two boats that were waiting for us in Lot A...  lol LOL lol




We were famished and gathered a few oysters and crabs for dinner.........











What a scrumptious meal and dessert to die for......... 



~ best friends forever ~


"So Barb and Joe" ..... did we miss any details that you would like to share with our blog followers? 
 B&C:  these are for you!   

He was happy to see us when we returned to the motorhome.........

    WOW! You nailed it! I was trying to think of something to add, but was laughing too hard to type! Still mopping up the sand from the wetsuits.

    Did you keep the piece of coral Dan found when he took a quick dive under his surf board? We were worried for a moment about him getting swept out to sea, but then again, those friendly freighters were there with all their twinkling holiday lights!

    Our outing brought back fond memories of driving into Dallas, going dancing/shopping/kicking back and then sipping champagne in the hotel hot-tub...oh wait, we did that, too!

    Hope you find your sunshine soon! Love you guys! Barb and Joe
