Oh, absolu...That must've been a fabulous trip!<br /><br />Oh, absolutely I think about how the Great Hurricane affected Galveston! We got married close to the 100th anniversary (9-9-00) of that hurricane. And I heard that some aunt of my mom's or g-mom's stayed at the Galvez to ride out that storm! That was so cool to me.<br />But when we toured to choose a spot, they all had some tale about THAT hurricane. It still affects them, you know?<br /><br />And then my mom remembers going to Murdoch's and her aunt and uncle rented beach chairs and umbrellas.<br /><br />And I met a woman in the middle of Mexico whose father, as a young man, visited Galveston. This had to be early 1930's maybe. And she has a B&W photo of him in front of Murdoch's...<br /><br />Yes, when I drive around, I can just imagine the splendor it had!<br /><br />Ok. I will shut up!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655136952400905041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736761206080689223.post-85118745040170926772010-11-16T22:56:02.617-06:002010-11-16T22:56:02.617-06:00So cool you were married there!
Yes, it does hav...So cool you were married there! <br /><br />Yes, it does have a special something-- I first went at age 16 with DeLynne and another friend-- that was the most magical time-- so many adventures-- so many memories-- I've never forgotten it. <br /><br />Hubby has groaned everytime I mention Galveston over the years-- because of the lack of beach beauty-- we actually went summer of 94 but he didn't like it-- I've tried to explain the elusive something but he didn't get it until last Novembers trip-- he still raves about the fun we had. <br /><br />Love the mix of history and beach atmosphere-- does it give you pause to think what it would have been today if not for the 1900 hurricane? I think about things like that...Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736761206080689223.post-22489201210836717372010-11-16T22:16:36.287-06:002010-11-16T22:16:36.287-06:00I absolutely love Galveston. Yes, I've seen so...I absolutely love Galveston. Yes, I've seen some beautiful beaches, but Galveston has something!<br />I love it so much, I got married there at the Hotel Galvez. My favorite picture is of us (me in my wedding dress and hubby in tux) standing on one of those jetties. So Galveston.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655136952400905041noreply@blogger.com
