Ah, the beach was GLORIOUS!!! Our hotel was right on the beach, so we got to see the waves anytime we wanted. We even saw dolphins swimming right offshore form our window.
The beaches were all free, the parking was free; even the FERRY was free!! I couldn't believe it. Thank you, Texas Department of Transportation!!
The picture above is my husband David and his Mom, Legay, chillin at Crystal Beach after a few hours of riding the waves and rooting out shells with our feet in the ocean. I pulled up a pretty snail shell only to find it inhabited by some little hermit crab dude. I laughed and showed it to my husband, and the little crab got SUPER pissed off. It thrust all its little pincers and feet out and waved them at David's face like he was gonna pull his eyeball out. It might have been more frightening than laughable if the little guy had been more than an inch tall.
Oh, it was so peaceful. The weather was perfect, the food was good. It feels like we were gone for weeks. I can't wait to go back.
If you'd like to see more pictures, click HERE and you can see them all on my Facebook page. I'll be adding some more over the next couple of days, when David & his Mom finish uploading all of theirs.
Welcome back!!! So glad you had fun. I was in Texas over the weekend too. What part were you in?
ReplyDeleteOh, Galveston! Hubs, the kids and I were there in August--it's such a great town. We took the ferry, too, amazing to be in a car on the water. Glad you had such a good time.
