The Friday after Thanksgiving left me a day off (a rare miracle), so my friends Ryan, Desiree, and myself decided to take the demon, my dog Mowgli, on his first trip to the beach. Desiree performs with the Rockets Power Dancers, and is about to move away for Vet School. The weather was not the best, but the cloud cover provided some soft light to take a few last snaps of Des before her move.

After hanging out on the beach for awhile, we headed to one of my favorite places to eat in Galveston: Olympia Grill at Pier 21. Their patio is dog friendly, and we were seated quickly, even though we were busy. We were lucky enough to spot a few dolphins in the harbor from our seats.
