We stayed at the Victorian Hotel & Condos at 61st & Seawall. All balconies face the beach.

This is the fishing pier at 61st & Seawall

Even though it was Spring Break, the beaches were not crowded
due to Galveston's law banning alcohol on the beach!

Tuesday, the 13th, Dad & Kids went on a deep sea fishing trip lasting 12 hours,
Mom went shopping!!

First, they caught them!!

Scott & Val Tired and Cold -- NOT wanting to pose for Pictures!

Gabe Caught a Shark! The other -- a Sheepshead (doesn't look like a sheep to me!)

Val
Holding her Atlantic Bluefish

Scott
He caught an Atlantic Bluefish too!

Dad
Scott "let" him hold his Red Stripper and Val "let" him hold her Angel Fish!
(He was kept so busy with their lines, he didn't get to catch any fish of his own!

And then they had to clean them!!

Gabe cleaned his Shark and Sheepshead Fish

Dad helped Val clean one of hers. Sometime, somewhere, Scott
cleaned one of his, AND then Dad cleaned the rest!!

We all had a great time, but probably won't go on another
long fishing trip for awhile!!!
