The Egg and I & Cafe Adobe. . .
Today started off with breakfast at Egg and I, probably our favorite local breakfast place. We also like Jimmy’s Egg, but for some reason, perhaps because they have flavored coffees like hazelnut, we like the Egg and I better.
Then we headed about 30 miles south to Galveston Island to show Jim and Debbie around, and also check out the changes since Hurricane Ike.
We drove west along the Seawall all the way to Jamaica Beach. Along the way, we stopped to check out the Jamaica Beach RV Park, which is right across the street from the ocean. For some reason the park comes with its own alpacas.
We looked it over and got a brochure and a rate chart. It’s a nice park and we might stay there on our way out of town some time.
Coming back we drove into town to drive around the Strand area, and thru some of the neighborhoods looking over all the old, but beautifully remodeled homes. Based on what we had heard the Strand looked like after Ike, the area has really come back.
Leaving the Strand, we drove back over to the Seawall to get some ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s, and then headed back east to Murdock’s Souvenirs. I’ll have more about Murdock’s in the next couple of days.
Coming back from Galveston, we stopped by Brandi’s so Jim and Debbie could meet Mr. Landon.
Jim and Debbie also had to pass Kitty’s inspection. Kitty (Yes, this 105 pound Black Lab’s name is Kitty) is very protective of Landon, and if Kitty doesn’t know you, the dog will keep trying to squeeze in between you and Landon.
A little before 5 pm the whole gang met at Cafe Adobe for dinner. Here’s a photo suitable for a Most Wanted poster.
From left to right: Jan, Debbie, Jim, Lowell, Landon, Brandi, Piper, Linda, and Chris.
And here’s Mr. Landon sleeping through all the commotion. He looks like he’s ready for a fight.
And here’s Debbie, with Jim getting in some Landon feeding time. Jim and Debbie’s youngest grandchild is 1 yr. old, so he’s not as out of practice feeding a baby as I am.
Leaving Cafe Adobe about 6:15 Jan and I dropped Jim and Debbie at the hotel, and then headed back toward the rig, stopping off at Buc-ee’s to fill up with gas.
Tomorrow we’re planning to head over to San Antonio to see the Alamo, the Riverwalk, and other sights.
But…when we got home tonight Jan started feeling bad, so we’ll have to see how tomorrow goes.
More then…
