8.5.2011-Palm Beach, Moody Gardens Fireworks

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:52:11 +0000

After getting back from MD Anderson Cancer Center today, had a WONDERFUL time at Palm Beach, Moody Gardens tonight with my mom. Gotta love living on Galveston Island! Listened to the band “Hanna’s Reef”, and made up for missing the 4th of July fireworks while in the hospital. Nice feeling like a normal person for just a little while!

★❼★ Carnival Ecstasy Cruise Day 3- Progreso

Day 3 Progreso.
This vid is way short because honestly there wasn’t a lot to shoot at the port.
I’ve heard many people call this place a dump… well maybe so in some areas.
We didn’t do an excursion here but just went to the local beach.

Some folks we knew took a double decker bus through the city.
We did have some cruise buddies who went on an excursion out of town that said it was AWESOME- biking/hiking and to a natural spring. I can’t remember the exact name of it right now.

On our way to the beach my family stopped at Moody Gardens in Galveston Texas. I had a great time. The Rainforest Pyramid made it seem like I was actually walking through the Rainforest! I will never forget the memories that were created in the Amazing Rainforest Pyramid.

Grande Fishing 61st St Pier Galveston,Tx

admin — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 04:14:11 +0000

Fishing with my 7 yr old son Jules & my nephew Johnny @ 61st street fishing pier in Galveston, Tx. Very nice clean pier with lots of cleaning tables & sinks with running water. Early birds get the best spots so we were there @ 6am. You can bring your own drinks & food, no glass containers. Or purchase food from the grill. They have hard rock playing all day & no you can not bring in alcoholic beverages but you can purchase your beer for $3.00 a beer. The main idea of the trip was for my son to catch his 1st fish. Check it out & see how he & my nephew do.

June 4, 2011 — AIA Sand Castle Competition | Galveston

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 15:51:28 +0000

A Houston engineering firm, Jacobs of Houston, proved you can “Have Your Sandcastle and Eat it Too” Saturday in Galveston when they took home the first place prize in one of the world’s largest amateur sandcastle competitions. The phrase was the title of their “Golden Bucket” award-winning sandcastle design at the 25th annual AIA SandCastle Competition held on Galveston’s East Beach. The winning design by these very creative architects featured an elaborate sandcastle guarded by a dragon-eating dragon.

Based on car count reports from the Galveston Island Park Board of Trustees, more than 25,000 people attended the event. The competition, hosted by the Houston Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), included more than 60 teams who had only five hours to build their sandcastles.

The second place “Silver Shovel” award went to the team from Matrix Spencer Architects of Houston for its Greek-themed design “The Midas Touch.” The Matrix Spencer Architects team were the defending champions having won the “Golden Bucket” award in 2009 & 2010.

The “Bronze Shovel”, third place award, went to Colby Design; their theme was “Lion in the Sand”.

Listen in as Talk of the Bay visits with Rusty Bienvenue, Executive Director of AIA Houston, Perry Seeberger, of Seeberger Architecture and team members from the Matrix Spencer Archtects.
