Restaurant Guide - Galveston, TX

We loved...
Gaido's Restaurant - opened it's doors in 1911, the same year an aircraft landed on a ship for the first time.

Mosquito Cafe - "One bite is all it takes" - fresh, homemade, eclectic & trendy. We had a wonderful squash muffin & crustless quiche (with apples, peppers, onions, sausage). Check out their menu - it all looks so good.

p.s. Benjamin & I really didn't get out to each much, but these were places we had to tell you about!

Galavanting in Galveston

Benjamin & I enjoyed tagging along with Russ this week as he had a conference at the Moody Gardens Hotel/Convention Center on Galveston Island. His schedule was pretty full, however Benjamin & I enjoyed touring around on our own. Benjamin was fascinated by the penguins at the Moody Garden Aquarium. Walking along Seawall Blvd was nice - but very windey & a bit noisy from the traffic, hungry seagulls squawking & the ocean waves. The historic downtown part of Galveston had fun shops & this is where Benjamin learned to play chess. The beach was great - soft sand, quite clean & warm water. Considering our hotel room was paid for by Russ' company, it was a 'cheap' vacation!
