February Island {Galveston}

Preston and I spent a lovely February weekend on Galveston Island.

 Friday night after work and traffic we loaded up Sweet Lou (our little SUV) and headed South 45 miles to this coastal town. We stayed two blocks from the ocean in the "Tree House Cottage", a charming and quiet historical house built in the 1920's.

Sunrise on East Beach

Saturday morning we woke up early to catch a glimpse of sunrise on East Beach.  After a delicious breakfast by chef Preston and a quick stop at Goodwill (where I found some cat eye sunglasses) we explored Galveston Island State Park. Preston rented a 1.4X extender for his lens to try his hand at bird photography at the state park. By this time we were very hungry and decided to eat at one of our favorite places for lunch - Olympia Grill on the Seawall - this place is always delicious. We spent the rest of the day playing on the beach with our setters, shopping and dinner on the strand, and a friendly game of mini golf of course! Let me just say that Preston amazed me with his putt putt skills. Sunday morning before we headed back to Houston we tried some GREAT coffee from Mod (my favorite is called "Holly") and and made some new friends at Galveston's Own Farmer's market. Here is a glimpse into the perfect Galveston getaway weekend, loved every minute of it!!
