Birthday 55

I turned 55 today.  My husband told me I could take up to two days to celebrate.  I chose one, and I chose Kemah.  Not such a great idea.  We should have remembered that places like that are pretty much closed down on Mondays.  Sure enough.  We did have a nice drive over there....fiddled around for a little bit, then headed to Galveston.  I always like Galveston.

 

 

Busy Bee

Alvin, Texas

Wish this place was in

Freeport.

 



 

Just the normal fare....

except for the manatee size

cinnamon roll.

 



 

Shots of the deserted shopping areas in Kemah.

Had I remembered the Monday thing,

we would have gone on Tuesday.

And I would have birthdayed myself

all day long today, too.

 



 

These bushes were electric green.

A picture doesn't do them justice.

I don't like bushes, but these were pretty neat.

 



 

 

Hmmm.

Trying to remember why we didn't

go get some coffee.

????

 



 

I thought it would be fun to get a selfie with the Icee Bear.

Fail.

A guy and his family walked by and saw my struggle.

So he took a good picture.

Thanks whoever you were!

 



Every place has one of these little leaky water parks.

RIGHT.

No running.

This must be for insurance purposes

because nobody in their right minds think that

kids aren't going to run around in these play areas.

Unless, there were so many signs in the way, that you couldn't.

 



 

I love these birds.

The white is so white and the black is so black.

 

But then.....my third favorite color is gray.

I can't win.

 



The same people that let their kids run around in those

slick water parks.....probably feed the birds, too.

The signs that are everywhere are CRAZY.

 

Special diet?

Define that please.

 



 

No thanks.

I don't want to stand in a little area and feel

a hurricane. 

 



Ha.

You know a horse will throw a shoe?

Well, a beach bum threw his flip-flops......

 



Before leaving Kemah, we stopped at Sonic.

Of course we pulled into this one.

What a nice sign to let people know.

 



 

We're randomly in Galveston, but hardly ride the ferry.

Sometimes I just don't want my hair messed up.

(NOT really)

Sometimes the weather is just pathetic, or we're short on time.

Today was perfect.

 



I look around at others....

It seems like only MY hair is messed up.

 



 

Cool Birds

 



 

Last stop was Salt Grass Steak House

This was our view.

Everything was very nice....until my husband realized

that what I was drinking was not water.

It was Sprite.

Hey, it was my birthday.
