Houston Trip Part 2

Here are some other pics from our trip:

1. Fuddruckers. Notice Addilyn's major fat lip--she fell while in line and cried and cried. She didn't eat much that night--but just sat on my lap while we pigged out.
(Okay, it's hard to see. But she was so sad...)

Sunday we drove to Galveston for some beach fun and hurricane-damage-gazing (as well as Waffle House!):
The hurricane damage was crazy--whole restaurants were missing from the piers--you could see where they had been. Large areas of beach were gone and had washed onto the roads--there were lots of giant piles of sand that had to be moved from the highways. Boats were washed up everywhere--by the road, next to houses, etc. Many trees were down or damaged, and lots of houses had major damage, too. One cool thing: we're pretty sure we saw the white gazebo where Jim Cantore stood before things got too bad--remember the one where, on live TV he said, "Guys, we gotta go--this thing isn't going to hold up much longer! Cut--let's go!" It was awesome.
At Waffle House, we enjoyed deliciously UNhealthy food. Ollie and Addy were getting into trouble while we waited--so they were pushed against the wall where they could play together. They were entertained so easily.

Bath time with Addy:
We had such a great trip! Thanks Tyler, Erin and Addy!

Fun pictures! I'm glad that you found some good in the midst of Ike... you Jim Cantore Groupie. Now I'm craving Waffle House.
