After working all night long (more to come on my job later) I am exhausted but so wanting to join in on Halloween festivities! Unfortunately, I have to pull another all-nighter for work.&lt;br /&gt;I just love Halloween and Autumn when the temperatures plummet from 105 degrees to a mere 95 degrees! All ya'll in Texas know what I'm talkin' about ;)&lt;br /&gt;Changing my summer decor (seashells, palm trees, etc) over to Autumn (pumpkins and leaves!) is one of my favorite Autumn rites of passage.&lt;br /&gt;Since I have been unemployed for almost a year until recently, I simply cannot afford to feed my kids and dogs all while decorating an apartment. All the decorations you see below where made from materials bought at the dollar tree- just look below, some things will surprise you! Other items were bought at Ross for under $5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2tzZG2j6I/AAAAAAAAABI/qUT26xulZTc/s1600/Fall+2010+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2tzZG2j6I/AAAAAAAAABI/qUT26xulZTc/s320/Fall+2010+011.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2t8BavLBI/AAAAAAAAABM/no2n6hEWbiM/s1600/Fall+2010+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2t8BavLBI/AAAAAAAAABM/no2n6hEWbiM/s320/Fall+2010+014.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2uHr9yziI/AAAAAAAAABQ/2FjxD7mBpnI/s1600/Fall+2010+038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2uHr9yziI/AAAAAAAAABQ/2FjxD7mBpnI/s320/Fall+2010+038.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2uTZdKlrI/AAAAAAAAABU/Aw6Bkyno2n4/s1600/Fall+2010+039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2uTZdKlrI/AAAAAAAAABU/Aw6Bkyno2n4/s320/Fall+2010+039.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I made this myself for $7!!!

It's a fun place to get away and vacation with the family (inlcuding Batman &amp;amp; Rocky!)&lt;br /&gt;I love the atmosphere and going down there reminds me of my childhood as I grew up in Houston and Baytown. For all of you out-of-towners, Houston and Baytown is an hour or less away from Galveston.&lt;br /&gt;We love touring the strand, relaxing on the beach, walking along the seawall, visiting historic mansions, and eating seafood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2p163JdfI/AAAAAAAAAA4/wljrwlk-OO0/s1600/Galveston+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2p163JdfI/AAAAAAAAAA4/wljrwlk-OO0/s320/Galveston+007.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2qCVJTncI/AAAAAAAAAA8/4VHONZdzv9A/s1600/Galveston+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2qCVJTncI/AAAAAAAAAA8/4VHONZdzv9A/s320/Galveston+008.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2qMzj6GkI/AAAAAAAAABA/ZrmxxwL2zLM/s1600/Galveston+018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2qMzj6GkI/AAAAAAAAABA/ZrmxxwL2zLM/s320/Galveston+018.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2qU2KOHcI/AAAAAAAAABE/YSc02TtoZSI/s1600/Galveston+020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2qU2KOHcI/AAAAAAAAABE/YSc02TtoZSI/s320/Galveston+020.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6535912033205064421-149776595388706614?l=mamaneedsanewpairofshoes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mamaneedsanewpairofshoes.blogspot.com/feeds/149776595388706614/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mamaneedsanewpairofshoes.blogspot.com/2010/10/favorite-october-vacation-spot.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6535912033205064421/posts/default/149776595388706614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6535912033205064421/posts/default/149776595388706614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mamaneedsanewpairofshoes.blogspot.com/2010/10/favorite-october-vacation-spot.html' title='Favorite October Vacation Spot- Galveston!'/><author><name>Melinda Annette</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11938451763379425385</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TRv-PVsqRUI/AAAAAAAAABs/Rw7YpI--m5s/S220/Christmas%2B008.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ClnZQH2hMBg/TM2p163JdfI/AAAAAAAAAA4/wljrwlk-OO0/s72-c/Galveston+007.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
