No Moody Blues Here

Day 11 - Galveston Tx Non-Travel Day

It was sunny, coolish and a little breezy, a perfect day for Moody Gardens. So after a nice healthy omelet we drove the ten

minutes over to the gardensIt's so much more than gardens. We saw an IMAX presentation on the Grand Canyon...we'll .

be there in a couple of weeks.

Spent the whole day there, rode the boat, visited the rain forest, the Titanic exhibit, the aquarium, got a cute shot of Jim with a penguin (remember Happy Feet?) ...beautiful place.

Afterward we stopped off at the WalMart right down the street...and across the street from the ocean. Imagine, an ocean front WalMart! We don't have the space to stock much, and there's a weight issue, so we stop to replenish our needs every few days. The added bonus to this is that I'm learning Spanish...caja rapido - yes, we DID have 20 items or less so we could use the quick check out.

We'll be pulling out in the morning for Houston, AFTER their rush hour. Last time we went around that city on their beltway it was during the middle of the day, the traffic was awful. We're hoping to see their Pompeii exhibition.

Made a nice dinner, that was also super easy...Hormel Beef Roast Au Jus, Steamfresh corn, carrot and asparagus medley, boiled red bliss potatoes and a salad with raspberry vinaigrette.

Jim has more vitamins in his body than he's ever had! He's also lost about 15 pounds in the last month. He sure sleeps better, I do too, he hardly snores at all!

Took the dogs for a short walk after dinner (and didn't forget them on the beach!) then watched American Idol. Pretty sunset.

No repairs, because we were parked...

A nice day.
