Tremont House


This being our 4th trip to Galveston, we decided to stay in one of the historic hotels---Tremont House.
This reminds me of several historic European hotels we have stayed in.  High ceiling, decorated with antiques, but with a beautiful modern bathroom
 The inside is rich with architectural details not found in most new hotels like an atrium lobby and a bar on loan from the historical society (rosewood)


Like many hotels this one has incorporated buildings near-by.  This beautiful stairwell is part of the hotel on the first floor, but is actually a separate building
 A walk around the block (our hotel is the white one) took me to the Strand area and just across the street from the cruise terminals.

In addition to boutiques and tourist shops, there was an ice-cream and candy store.



Our room overlooks the theater, ballroom and a beautiful Mardi Gras gate.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
