It's coming to and end, our time here down on Galveston Island. We had such a wonderful time being with family and being in the warm climate. Erin was the only one who was able to head here for a few days, so on Saturday we headed down to The Strand, where we window shopped, ate lunch and just walked around enjoying the day.
Since this was our last weekend here and probably the only time to see all the family together before we head back home, we headed into Houston to our son and dil's home where our son made a wonderful BBQ smoked brisket on his smoker grill.
Here's all of our Texas family, the three girls and our son and dil and their 2 girls. Jim and I both were taking this photo, so they were all looking at him :)
It's not easy saying good-bye, but it's not really good-bye because we plan to come back down here again.
Yummy looking meat. Nothing like a BBQ is there. You have such a lovely looking family. So glad you had a wonderful holiday.

I've so enjoyed your photographs and descriptions of your trip, Judy. I know it must be difficult to say goodbye to your family -- but you probably miss your home too. Have a wonderful Monday. :)

Too bad the visit is almost over. You've certainly enjoyed your time in the south! Isn't it great when the family can be all together?

You have such a lovely family, Judy. Glad you all had fun in the sun together. Its just 'see you all later'.. not good-by.

Pam :)

That's how vacations go: too short, but glad to get home. The brisket looks quite good. Your family will miss you, but it sounds like you had quality time. Have safe travel home.

Vacations are way to short for our own good. At least you had a wonderful time and shot some great photos.
