Eat, Play, LB Weekend-Day Two

On Saturday morning, I got up early and hopped on the computer looking for bike trails. I found a great bike trail that Blue Butterfly, PS Guru, and I decided we could try on Sunday. For now, we ate breakfast and then took a ride on the seawall. It was a beautiful ride!
We came back to the hotel to get ready for the event. We decided to head to the visitor's bureau to try and find a map of Galveston and some information on the Oak/Chainsaw sculptures that I'd found online. We had a time of that!! We went to three different places before we finally found it! This made us a little late for the event, but that was ok.

When we got there, the group was already busy stamping in. Blue Butterfly and I greeted folks, then ate lunch, then got to stampin'! Boots Tex had hidden a few HIPS boxes inside the candy jars and IRA had somehow managed to sneak in and hide one, too! The event stamp was lovely and very detailed, too. I don't know how Boots does it!


After some exchanges, Boots called a meeting for us to divvy up the assignments. Blue Butterfly and I agreed to check on three boxes, one of which was my own, and hide my new letterbox, TREATS ONLY, PLEASE. We headed off to Galveston SP to hunt down my Watering Can LB. We got to the designated area and searched, but we found nothing. We believe that the tree that it was hidden beside may be gone now, Post-Ike. We did manage to find Dawn's Glory's box that she had hidden this weekend, though.

Our next stop was to find one of LSQ's quilt blocks. We easily followed the directions to this lovely box and stamped in. I decided to hide my box on the same trail.

After leaving Galveston SP, we headed to Lafitte's Cove to look for a couple of older boxes there, as per our assignment. We found HIDING FROM PUTTY TAT and added a few index cards for future finders. We then headed around to find SYLVESTER. We had a hard time finding that one, as some bushes or vines have grown up considerably over the past few years and are now over six feet tall. Blue Butterfly made her way back there, but could not find the box.
It is my understanding that Dawn's Glory was able to find it on Sunday.

We headed back to Kempner Park to report on the boxes that we'd checked on. We also made notes of those who had planted that day with the intent of hopefully finding them on Sunday.

The most special part of the day was when we ate dinner with Boots Tex, Will's World, and Lucky 13. We called PS Guru to join us, but he was about 8 miles from the hotel on his bicycle, so we had to go without him. We had a great time "talking shop" at The Original Mexican Cafe with this trio! We wish Lone Star Quilter could have made it to this event, but we understand that she had other obligations. I think a good time was had by all!!!
