getaway...

so here's how our getaway is going so far...

we left the house around 8:30am, ran a couple errands, went to IHOP for breakfast, then headed for galveston island. went straight for "the strand". picked up a hat, a necklace, and earrings. :) my plan was to take jay to the peanutbutter warehouse because he loves peanutbutter but hasn't been able to find one he likes since they took peter pan (honey roast) off the shelves... they do still make some peanutbutter, but mainly it's an antique store now. :/ left the strand and got to moody gardens around 12:30 or so... to see the "titanic exhibition"! it was pretty neat. we stopped at the "dippin dots" ice cream store on the seawall (i love that place) before heading to our next stop... a bed & breakfast (our first time)! :) the place has a history as it was here during and survived the storm of 1900. we checked in around 3:30pm, then left around 4:30pm to head to landry's on the seawall for dinner. got back to the b&b around 6:30pm, and here we've sat ever since. it's absolutely wonderful here and the innkeepers are so friendly! we're only staying the one night, but so far i just love it. i don't know that i'll ever want to stay in a hotel again! some pics below...

uh, the bed...
sitting area, and sofa folds out to queen bed...
jacuzzi tub with shower...
sitting area, dinette back by the entrance...
suite is detached from the main house, so we have our own private patio...

off i go! next stop: breakfast in the dining room of the main house at 9am...
