Gulf Coast Beach Weekend


We had a fantastic time at Surfside Beach on Valentines weekend. We pratically had the beach to ourselves sine 65 degrees is too cold for the Locals. Everyone just drives right out on to the beach.




Sky loved feeding the seagulls untill dozens began swarming her fighting for food.








Sand art ruled the day, but we plan to bring buckets and shovels for sand castles next time.



After the Beach we drove the Blue Water Highway over to Galveston and rode the ferry to Bolivar Peninsula. Dolphins accompanied us across the bay while we passed a shipwreck and several barges. Bolivar showed many signs of Hurricane Ike but we did find one restaraunt still open. STINGEREY a seafood place uses discarded oyster shells to fill puddles in their parking lot. There is nothing like eating good seafood while watching the fishing boats come in. Though unwilling to eat them Cole would not put this little crawfish down.


Steve was in Heaven.
