We survived Hurricane Ike

Hurricane Ike was a tropical storm by the time he hit us. We did not get a direct hit so it was not so bad. Gracie and Nick watched from the window as sheets of rain came down for hours. But no damage here. Unfortunately, Galveston was not so lucky. It was totally devastated. I am glad we got to go see it in August before Ike swallowed up much of its historic sight on Galveston's beach line.
