Memorial Day Weekend trip to Galveston, TX

Cynthia and I went down to the coast for a mini-vacation this Memorial Day weekend. Joining us was Cynthia’s sister and her sister’s husband. The beaches aren’t as nice in Galveston, but we still had a pretty good time.

While there, we ate at a Rain Forest Café, visited the Houston Space Center, shopped at The Strand in downtown Galveston, watched Star Wars III, bummed out at the hotel pool, and ran up a hefty bar tab. I have included some pictures of the Rain Forest Café, our hotel, the beach, The Strand, and some historically significant buildings in this post.

I was somewhat disappointed with the Houston Space Center. It was nothing like the field trip to NASA in Cleveland Ohio I remember when I was a kid. There was plenty of exhibits, but they were more amusement-park-like than real. They also charged amusement park entrance fees. I was mostly bothered by their “enhanced” security. While entering the space center, they searched everyone’s bags. Upon going on the Hangar-X and training facility tour, we had mandatory photos taken in which they tried to sell to us for $20 a piece after the tour. Using “security” to try and make a profit like that was absolutely pathetic. To emphasize my point on their “enhanced security,” we all had to walk through a metal detector and be inspected by a security officer with a wand before getting on the tram. Before we walked through the metal detector, we were instructed to place our bags on the table and walk through. Once on the other side, we picked up our bags and got onto the tram. So what was the point of inspecting our persons, but letting our bags (where weapons would easily be stored) go un-inspected in order to go on this tour? Just pathetic! I’ll have more commentary on this subject on another website.

Checking out The Strand in downtown Galveston was a real treat. It was like walking down a mini Bourbon Street; plenty of little shops and restaurants and even some street performers. It is simply a must do if you ever make it down that way.

After doing a thorough search of all Mazda dealership’s inventory from North of Austin to South of San Antonio, we finally found the Mazda 3 my wife wanted. After comparing the Mazda 3 to the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Toyota Matrix, Scion XA, and Kia Spectra 5, we found that the Mazda 3 is better built, has more standard features, far more bells and weasels, and much better priced than any of its competition. The Toyota Matrix was close, but to get all the extras that we got in the Mazda 3, we would have had to spend approximately $6,000 more. Plus, it just wasn’t as pretty. Anyway, here it is.

Memory Lane

You may remember the 1994 movie Renaissance Man starring Danny DeVito and Gregory Hines. Well, this movie was made at Fort Jackson, South Carolina in the summer of 1993. They used actual basic trainees as extras in this movie.

It just so happens that I was going through basic training as this movie was being filmed. Although you can’t pick me out of the crowd in any scene, there were several other people in my platoon that were visible. Unfortunately; now I wouldn’t remember who they were. Anyway, I did leave basic training with this photo.

Me in my youth

My wife and I were looking through hundreds of photos over the weekend. We came across some pictures of me at various points in my life. I figured I would share some with you. If nothing else, they are worth a good laugh.

Updated Construction Photos

Some time has gone by and we have made some progress on the house. These photos represent where we were a couple months ago. We still have to put in flooring, kitchen cabinets and appliances, and completely redo all three of our bathrooms. I’ve been looking at adding a decorative humidifier to the house. Check out Humidifall, and tell me what you think.

Photos of our new interior lights are soon to follow.
