Galveston










































































































Yesterday we loaded up and drove to Galveston. Its only about 45 miles from here. We rode the ferry to a peninsula and back. It was the kind where you get on with your car. We climbed to the top of the ferry and enjoyed the view.
We then went to the beach and played in the sand and surf. It was cool playing in the surf on November 1st.
We then went to a Goodwill and Jeff found two brand new pairs of wrangler jeans. Bill found two new shirts.
Then we decided we wanted to eat at a restaurant with a balcony overlooking the beach. We found a place where we had the whole balcony eating area to ourselves and we were able to enjoy ourselves and the view and the sea breeze. It was a most enjoyable day. Even Jeff said he would go back.
We all enjoyed it tremendously. Next time we would like to tour a ship and a submarine that is there for that.

Bill and Christina are homeschooling the girls here. They are doing a good job of it. I hope I helped reassure them with their choice of curriculum. I myself always do a sort of eclectic type. Some of this and some of that. That way we can learn many different things. I think that is what they are going to do too. I should say that is what they are doing. I have enjoyed participating in their family devotions each day.
