Galveston

We are in Galveston for Thanksgiving this year so the boys and I have been sight seeing. Yesterday we went to see a submarine and a naval ship.It was really neat to see the boys go through it and think about what it would be like to be at sea living on these things for months at a time. We are glad to have our freedom but we truely do not think about thet sacrifices the men and women make for us to be able to have it. We definitly have a new appreciation for them.

We also toured a demo of an off shore drilling rig. Wow if you have a chance to see it, it is worth the trip. Very educational and kid friendly.They have many models of the different types of rigs and the parts of rigs that it takes to drill the well. They have a display that shows some of the things that it takes oil to make, my boys were suprised at what all was there.

Today we are going to do a little bike riding and wait for the rest of the family to get here. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving .
