Retirement Trip part 2

It hard to beat our week with Rick's aunt and uncle....

Our next adventure was to travel more south to Galveston where we 

spent 4 nights at an Airbnb on the beach. The temperatures were in the low 60's

 but for us Minnesotans, thats' warm enough!

Documentation that we were indeed there

We both got into the ocean, and agreed that the temperature of the water felt a lot like Long Lake.

COLD

Our set up

We didn't visit this pier but it would be fun with kids for sure.

We could see it from our place, just a hop-skip-and jump from us.

This is our Airbnb, it was a nice place and close to the beach

View right outside our door

Every morning, we sat out for coffee and toast.

One of the best things was the 2 recliners after a busy day.

Galveston was great! 

We did some shopping on Strand street, visited a military museum, ate at some great restraints,

 took some walks on the beach and just chilled.

 

Our last adventure was a stop in Waco Tx to visit "Magnolia Market" at the Silo's,

 Established in 2023 by Chip & Joanna Gaines from the TV show "Fixer Upper".

I didnt know if Rick would be interested in this place but he actually liked it.

YUM, the bakery was a highlight

They had a shop with all things "Chip" perfect for the guys!

All the flowers outside were real, the photos don't do them justice.

I LOVED this chair and wanted it but... it was $1200, a bit above me budget

The faux flowers and candles were everywhere

My purchases from Magnolia Market 

We really enjoyed our time at Magnolia Market

It was worth the stop!

After 2 weeks, we were home again to our beloved Minnesota.

We are thankful for these experiences, the ability to travel, good health and 

thea perfect travel buddy!

On the way home we booked our next trip

North Shore here we come.
