Well we are finally home. What a trip we had. We have never had a no plans, where ever the wind blows us trip like this before. By the way we did have one plan, I could not let our anniversary get away without it being some where special (sorry a La Quinta Inn would not do in this situation). We set out for Corpus Christi and got as far as San Antonio before we headed to Lake Charles, LA to stay at L'Auberge Du Lac (http://www.ldlcasino.com/). We made a side stop along the way in Austin. It was great to see Lewis, Jenny, Paula, and Dr. Shen (Dr. Todd sorry we missed you and we will catch you next time). We also received a tour of Dell Children's Hospital (no fears of Becky moving there anytime soon).
Lake Charles was fun, except I had no luck in the casino. Becky had the best luck of all and she did not even need to gamble she found $4 laying on the floor (yes I made her treat me to lunch with that one). We then headed to Galveston down the scenic route along the ocean. It was during this time that we discovered that gas is cheapest in Beaumont ($2.66) and that refineries are big and chaotic looking (no wonder gas costs so much, it takes forever to get from one end of the refinery to the other). We took a ferry from the Point Bolivar peninsula to Galveston and enjoyed the scenic boat tour. Contrary to popular belief I did not try feeding Becky to the sea gulls . . . . she did that herself!
Merry Christmas from the Janis family!
