Spending Spring Break in Galveston is a mix of both the old, the new, the thrilling, and the boring. Because we stayed at Joe’s parents during that time, half of the time we had to spend time together with family. Unfortunately it meant feeling like high school kids again for both me and Joe. We were able to go out and travel on our own during the day, but (I guess) we had curfew at night. That’s something we felt need not be said out loud, but felt responsible for. Staying at home at night. With parents. Yes.
(What the hell are you talking about? As far as Joe and I are concerned, it’s party time!)
The day strolls included visiting the Old Galveston Square, a secret gem hidden amidst the residential and commercial area of Galveston. It reminds me of Intramuros, except that the horses in mini-caravans look fatter. This is the place to get quaint souvenirs if you’re visiting Galveston for the first time. We meandered among the liquor stores and chocolate shops. We watched people (one of our favorite hobbies) and took shots like regular tourists (yuck!). Joe even got himsef a shirt on sale at Van Heusen.
The next day we waded through the San Luis Resort Pool until late afternoon. Come dusk, when the whole family sat down for a spicy crawfish and corn dinner, the “party” for the high school kids has just begun.
