Let the building begin!

Last weekend, Joseph and I drove to Galveston to spend a day at the beach. Plus, it was the AIA Sandcastle Competition. I found this out in the spring and was so excited to see the huge sandcastles. It was a hot day but I am starting to get used to that. Here are some pictures from the day.

This sandcastle was inspired by the Occupy movement. Basically, the people just left the sand in one big pile, put some signs up, and then partied the day away behind it. I was very shocked that it didn't win any awards.

This one was called "Cup-lete." It won the award for "Most life-like."

This one was very artistic and had some underlying meaning but I don't know what it was exactly.

March Madness of the Penguins!

Houston Astro. Right now, there is a big political ordeal in Houston about rebuilding the Astro-dome so there were a few sandcastles with the Astro-dome.

This was the 1st Place Winner. The DOW sandcastle won second!

Here's East Beach that we went swimming in.

We had a bunch of fun and enjoyed swimming in the ocean. Stay tuned for more Houston excitement as we're going to the Houston Space Center today!
