With the onset of Fall and a few more hot days left, the Sudduth's decided to make one more break for Galveston to enjoy the Labor Day Holiday. I was somehow able to procure a hotel room at the Hilton Seawall for $179.00...thank you Priceline!!! Everything else in town was $200 plus and required a 2-nights stay. I'd never stayed at the Hilton before and was pleasantly surprised to find a very nice hotel, complete with swim up pool bar, clearly a bonus for those of us who enjoy taking a cocktail in our swim trunks.

Now as most of you know, the whole South Texas area is in a serious drought, but as soon as I made the reservation for Galveston the skies turned gloomy, the temperatures dropped and the rain started. My dear Mother would say that Sudduth Law has struck once again. She always said that Murphy's Law was mis-named and that Sudduth Law would have been more appropriate. Well we didn't let the bad weather stop us and still spent some Sunday quality time on the beach and in the pool. Daniel swam like a fish whilst freezing his backside off as the rest of us sat and watched.
You can't tell, but my feet are buried about a foot!

My Dad came down Sunday afternoon and we all enjoyed a nice afternoon cruising The Strand. We then put on our finest evening summer clothes on for one last time and ventured back to the The Strand for dinner at Luigi's, not only the best Italian food on the island but clearly the nicest restaurant in town.

Monday the skies cleared and the sun came back out so we got several hours of beach time enjoyment and then took a luncheon poolside before heading back to Houston. Another fun and memorable journey for the Sudduth family.
