Houston - Galveston

Sharon & David
We've had a wonderful time with Sharon and her husband, Bernie.  They took us everywhere.  All we had to do was show up!  First stop was San Jacinto where Texas won its independence from Mexico.

San Jacinto is the site of the last battle where Texas defeated the Mexican Army and became the Republic of Texas.  I was surprised to find that the Republic of Texas had a navy.  I wonder what else they didn't teach me in military history.  Next up was a trip through Houston to the school where Bernie teaches (Lamar).  Then down to Galveston and dinner at Gaido's.  Tomorrow we leave for Keene, TX where we'll visit Mike and Sandy Hopkins, spend Memorial Day and, hopefully, get a redo on some warranty work on the truck.  Pictures of the area follow.
