I had a lovely 3rd Mothers day, and I hope everyone did as well. We had a very nice weekend, even though I could not be with my mother. However we did have a great day with Judy and we played Yahtzee!!! I think I lost every time, but who's counting? (besides Judy and Bennie, the competitive ones) Then Sunday we took a nice ride down to beautiful (not) Galveston. It is still pretty beat up from Hurricane Ike and is nowhere near what is was. They have basically rebuild the major tourist attractions like restaurants, hotels, ect. Emmi had a blast at the beach!! She is such a natural swimmer, and has no fear in doing it!! We also ate at the Rainforest Cafe which scared the bejesus out of her!! We even lucked out and the manager gave us a free volcano desert and a free ride on their river adventure ride just for scooting over to make room for a bigger table!! (a approx value of $30) Here are a few pics:

Notice to those who are unaware: When you go down to Galveston and get really sandy, all of the pavilions have been destroyed where you once showered and rinsed off... so.....you pretty much have to ride home sandy unless you stay there at a hotel... repeating showers are not rebuilt yet.
Once again there are no showers:
This is where the showers were located, completely obliterated!
This is the driveway to the Flagship, also completely blown out:
