Ever take a mundane shopping trip and find yourself wishing the most awesome parking lot sky could have been witnessed from a cool hiking location?

War Dogs
Miami, Jordan, Iraq, Vegas, and Albania are some of the locations involved in this tale. Of these, Miami takes center stage with its beautiful coastline scenes and city views. This is a pretty good movie based upon a true story. If nothing else, read the article from Rolling Stone Magazine (but maybe wait until you have seen the film if you intend on watching this one so you don’t spoil it). The film will make you consider the business of war in today’s global economy.
Rain Showers
The intermittent rain showers chased some of the crowds away from the water park this afternoon. For some reason, I think that water parks are more fun when it rains. 🙂
Cooper’s on Congress
I went downtown to watch some college football this afternoon. Since I hadn’t been to Cooper’s BBQ in a while, I decided to lunch there. I had brisket, jalapeño sausage, cheese, beans, and iced tea. It was all wonderful.
In Texas
In Texas, you will find barbed wire, cattle, and sunsets.
One Last Beach Walk
One last walk on the beach before it was time to leave Galveston.
West Bay Sunset
I got lucky today and caught a pretty awesome sunset over the bay. The fish were jumping, the birds were flying, there were rainstorms on the horizon, and the colors were just spectacular.
Pancakes
Having breakfast for lunch today at IHOP, and it all started with pancakes! This is a great location that overlooks the Seawall and Gulf of Mexico. I lingered here for a while, watching the waves come in.
Pier 21
Pier 21 in Galveston is a great place for a sunset stroll.
Willie G’s
This is one of my favorite seafood restaurants in Galveston. Willie G’s has a great happy hour and you can sit out on the deck and enjoy the scenery. I recommend planning your visit near sunset.
