Best Day Yet in 2011!

Ok, so I don't have the hang of this blogging on a regular basis. But have renewed my promise to myself to get with it.

Yesterday, it was rare, but Troy was off for the day. Once he decided to wake up and join the day we decided to take a trip to Galveston. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and nothing going on on the island, which means it will be nice and quiet (oh and no camera with us, just the camera phone, booo).

So on the drive Troy and I are wondering what the heck are we going to do when we get there? EAT of course! It was suggested (Thanks Amy!) we go where the locals go and have fresh seafood for lunch; we did. Pulled into Benno's and we are hooked. http://www.bennosofgalveston.com/beach.asp. Troy had a fried oyster po-boy and some jambalaya and I had a crab cake and some fried shrimp. YAHOOOO it was great. I suggest you stop by.

Next  was a trek to The Strand. Galveston is in preparations for Mardi Gras (http://www.mardigrasgalveston.com/) . The shops are opening once again after Hurricane Ike ( http://www.galveston.com/downtowntour/). We visited almost every shop and talked to the owners. What a fun day!

I wanted to get on the boat, but Troy wont go get a passport :-(

Galveston, TX.- Jan. 22, 2011
Low tide, beautiful day!

So to end a perfect day, we headed home for a nap and then dinner. We went to The Woodlands for THE BEST ITALIAN food in the state- Pallotta's Italian Grill. Phil is the owner and he really knows how to take care of the guests and how to make his dishes my dish! Thanks Phil! http://www.pallottasitaliangrill.com/.

So I guess that was a jammed packed day, must find something else to yack about on this blog. BINGO this Thursday, Girls Night on Friday and Dinner with Troy's Boys on Saturday... sure to be some good stories in there somewhere.
