We did go to Galveston yesterday afternoon and enjoyed the trip.  The town is on an island between Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.  It's about an hour's drive on good freeways.  On the gulf side there are all kinds of attractions with sandy beaches, fishing quays, restaurants and a Pleasure Pier with rides and games.




                                   In the middle there are all kinds of beautiful old Victorian houses.


And on the bay side there are docks for ships and loading apparatus.  There is a cruise dock there too.      
We drove around savoring the atmosphere and enjoying the beautiful, perfect day.  There were a couple restaurants that had seating on the open balconies overlooking the street and a diner waved at me while we were stopped at a light.  It was a happy day.  

We stopped at Bubba Gump's restaurant and had a delicious lunch.  It was very expensive but was SO delicious.  I would love to be able to make that sauce.  I have looked online but nothing I see seems to be exactly it.  Jer had a buttery caper sauce on his food and I had a sort of butter sauce with fresh chives and diced tomato.  They were both tangy and full of flavor.  Okay, I looked again and maybe the sauces are lemon caper sauce and lemon chive sauce.  I'll enjoy experimenting.  :o) 

It's not quite fishing season, but when it is we will make sure to go out and see what we can catch.  We fished early in our San Diego life and enjoyed it.  I deep-sea fished in Florida with my mother a couple times and it was great.  We caught some good big fish and ate them. 

Today the man is continuing the repair on the door and getting his computer cleaned up remotely by PCLaptops there in Orem.  He got some kind of thing on it that wouldn't go away so now they are hopefully taking care of it for him.

Tonight is Women's session of conference and I am going with a couple sisters from the Pine Trails Ward.  Our last contact there and tomorrow we will start attending the Kingwood First Ward where our future lies.
