LaMarque, Tx (12.26.22-1.31.23)

We headed out to chase blue skies and 75 degrees, we didn’t find it. We did, however, get to see and do a buncha new things! We went to a huge Christmas light display, the Naval Museum to tour a battleship and WWII submarine, Galveston, some walks on the beach, and an NFL game. The battleship was amazing, but the sub was incredible. The entire sub was lined with gauges and dials. The ingenuity, craftmanship, and engineering that went into it was stunning. We were able to tour Minute Maid stadium, the pyramids (a rainforest and an aquarium) and an old oil rig. We got to board an 1788 tall ship that still sails and were able to learn a bit about how trade worked during that time frame. We went to the Space center and took a ferry to Port Boliver to tour Fort Travis, est. in the early 1800s. Because were were interested in the picture of a large monument was, we stumbled on San Jacinto, the place where the Mexican-American war was won. We topped off our stay in the Houston/Galveston area by attending Monster Jam and witnessed the unquestionable victory of Son of a Digger, the son of Grave Digger. Though the weather was pretty chilly. cloudy, and very rainy, we made the most of our time there, it was an incredible month.
