The Traveling Kind

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'...as we sit here in traffic trying to get back to our apartment...that just so happens to be at the same exit as the rodeo. Not cool Houston. Ryan and I both had off today so we took a day trip to Galveston! We started the day on the strand, did a teeny bit of shopping and day drinking, had lunch at a great brew pub, then went to the beach!  Highly recommend Brews Brothers on the Strand I mean, why isn't drinking on the sidewalk legal everywhere?!

There are so many things on my to do list! I hope three months is enough time! Kelly and Michael, Times Square, Statue of Liberty, SNL, Jimmy Fallon, and the TODAY Show!! I won't technically know exactly where we'll be living until a week before we move in but ...
