Since Kaho has never been to Houston or Galveston, we decided to leave a day early for our trip to Seattle so that we could see just a bit more of Texas before we depart.
On May 6th, the last day of my full time contract with UT, we moved out of our apartment and headed to Houston. We arrived in Houston at midnight, were asleep by 1am, and up by 7 for Kaho's 9am hair appointment. After the hair appointment we browsed the Japanese supermarket next to the hair salon. Then we headed to Galveston. It rained for a good portion of our drive to the island. The kind of heavy rain that brings traffic on the freeway to a slow crawl. But we werent in a rush. We arrived to the island at 1:45. Since we couldnt check into our hotel until 3, we went over to Moody Gardens and toured the rain forest pyramid. That was my second time there, the first being with Grace in 2016 (or was it 2017?). We then drove over to Seawall down to the hotel, which is almost directly across from Pleasure Pier. Our room has a view of the Gulf, which is nice, but could be better if it wasn't so overcast and windy. The waves are big and the sand is wet, so we skipped going down to the beach. But if the weather is good tomorrow, we might walk across the street to the shore in the morning before we check out.
We'll plan our route a little bit more before we go to bed. We are feeling sleep deprived because of all the last minute arrangements of getting out of our lease (through bringing in a subleasor), cleaning, packing, completing my UT contact, and preparing for our new life in Seattle.
Feeling tired, but very grateful.
Blessings to you.
Jeremy
