As you can see, with good reason. <br /><br />So, so many stories to tell, honestly, you guys should plan on doing a month. You know, our friends place in Santa Fe is very reasonable, and only about 1/2 an hour or so from the island, and I believe there is a Historical Homes Tour around Mother's Day every year (although, I'm sure you guys are headed north by then.)<br /><br />I've done the Mother's Day Tour and the Christmas Tour with my friend Sharon. Fabulous. ..highly recommend either!<br />Janice Williford Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322596945199192769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444152614012496655.post-49382110538423089152018-03-21T06:42:20.121-04:002018-03-21T06:42:20.121-04:00What beautiful architecture.

As you said, it's wonderful to see people restoring and taking pride in these historic homes. I wouldn't want to have to maintain one (can you imagine having to paint it?) but I sure enjoy seeing them.

We love Galveston and would like to go back and spend some more time. We were there not to long after Katrina - and another hurricane was working its way to Galveston (can't remember the name of it now). We left 2 or 3 days before it was supposed to hit. We were so thankful we did. That was when all of the traffic was backed up on the Interstate leading to Houston, cars ran out of gas, etc. There is just something about Galveston that just draws us back. We plan to head east to Flordia after our time in South Texas next year - we need to include it as a stop along the way.

My favorite part is the huge porches they all have. Sitting out there in a comfy rocker would be great fun. So glad that many of the houses are bright colors. Certainly adds to the beauty.
