Galveston Texas

Texas for Christmas….not on our usual list of places to go. But there were grandkids there we hadn’t seen for 6 months. So off to Texas we went. We spent 2 weeks there and took enough pictures that we will divide our visit into 3 posts.

Week 1: The first week we enjoyed the beach, reading, playing and a train museum.
