Often Bob will have a few days of vacation in December.  We love to travel to the south of Texas for quick getaways.  There are so many places in Texas to visit.  Last year we went to South Padre Island.  The weather in the south is usually a little warmer than in North Texas.  What I don't understand is that the Southern Gulf area is a little deserted at that time of the year.  The hotels are almost empty.  But, it is a great time to get a good deal on a room.  Last week we went to Galveston for a couple of days.  I love that city and never tire of going there.
In the photo below I am standing with two friends, Kristine and Rick who own two restaurants in the Galveston area.  The restaurants are the "Seaside Bistro" located in the Victorian Condo Hotel on Seawall Blvd. and the other one is in Kemah Texas called "What's Cookin'."  The menu consists of a huge variety of dishes prepared with a German flair.  When you are in the Galveston area make sure to treat yourself to a delicious lunch or dinner. And say hi to Kristine and Rick for us.
