So, last Sunday I decided to take a little road trip to visit my sister whom I haven’t seen in 3 years. Destination: Texas City, TX. Miles: 1600 Because of Gustav hitting about the same time I was going, my route there was, PA, OH, TN, KY, AR, TX…on the way back, (left Friday morning) The decision was made to go through LA and MS. In LA, there was a ton of trees down, and just about every road sign was snapped in half. Thank god for GPS. All In all, the trip was great, but next time, I will fly lol. I took 400+ pics while there, so i figured I would share some of my favorites Enjoy… A Beach in Galveston, TX ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BeachLGwall.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BeachLGwall.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BeachPier.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BeachPier.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BeachRock.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BeachRock.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BeachPanoramic.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BeachPanoramic.jpg) Kemah Boardwalk, Kemah, TX ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/KemahFountain.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/KemahFountain.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/KenmahBuilding.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/KenmahBuilding.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/Palms.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/Palms.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/KemaPalms.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/KemaPalms.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BlackBird.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BlackBird.jpg) A cool aquarium themed restaurant at the Kemah Boardwalk ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/AquaRest.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/AquaRest.jpg) Inside the Restaurant ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/AquaRestIN.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/AquaRestIN.jpg) Moody Gardens ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BluePyramid.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/BluePyramid.jpg) The “Dike” ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/DikeBeach.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/DikeBeach.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/DikeTrash.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/DikeTrash.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/DikeBoui.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/DikeBoui.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/DikeBoat.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/DikeBoat.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/2PalmGrass.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/2PalmGrass.jpg) A Lizard in my sisters yard ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/Lizard.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/Lizard.jpg) Tree at Sisters… ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/TreeBud.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/TreeBud.jpg) My niece…love this pic. ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/Texas024.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/Texas024.jpg) A pretty cool bridge in TX on our way out… ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/TexasBridge.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/TexasBridge.jpg) and at the Louisiana welcome center… Gator infested waters…none were surfaced though. ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/LADock.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/LADock.jpg) ![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/LAWaterPanoramic.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/frogiiie/LAWaterPanoramic.jpg) ---

it was nice. The sad thing is, out of ALL the places i went…my favorite was the gas station. $3.26 gal. Sadly, the instant you leave NY, gas drops $0.30
