Donna and I will get on the Harris County Precinct 4 bus at 10 am to ride to Galveston with the Cypresswood 50 Plus Club. We will bring a folding chair to watch the Galveston Mardi Gras Kick-off Parade followed by eating at Mario’s and then walking the Strand. Lunch is the only cost at this time as the county furnishes the bus, driver and fuel at no cost to our club.

Hurricane Ike hit Galveston very hard but the hotels and restaurants are back and the business along the Strand is getting back to normal. Mardi Gras is a big event in Galveston and a hurricane will not stop the fun and festivities.

On Sunday, Donna and i celebrate 47 years of marriage. This is a big weekend.
