First Sea Glass Haul of the Year

Today I am sharing with you my first sea glass haul of the year.

Since January 3, Beach-n-Bling has been in Texas for a longer visit.
Except for one day, it has been just as cold and damp as in Washington State. For some reason 45degrees  F feels colder in Texas than in the Pacific Northwest. What's up with that?

On Jan 12 we went to Galveston only to find a cold bleak beach. The next day we decided to leave and head north to Houston via Bolivar Island. We took the free ferry from Galveston to Bolivar Island just to see more beach.  Somewhere a year or so ago I researched finding sea glass in Texas and read that somewhere near Houston there was sea glass to be found. I didn't remember where, so I had some hope of finding sea glass and just followed my lucky instinct.  

Lately, it has been much colder than normal in Texas. It was cold and miserable on the beach. I even had to wear pants over pants and bundled up with all that I had. On the Houston news they said its been below average cold the longest in recorded history.
We stopped for lunch at the Tiki Beach Bar and Grill on Bolivar Island, which was the only place open in 40 miles. I had a fairly decent gumbo. Then we started heading north on HWY 87. After a while we decided to just stop and take a look at the beach. This is how it looked. It had a lot of shells and random rocks and other stuff 

The beach on Bolivar Island, TX went on and on like this.

Mixed in with all the shells and rocks there were pieces of sea glass to be found. I was so elated, that I didn't care about the cold anymore. 

Me all bundled up with my haul on the beach.

Now for the good stuff:

This is what was in the bag.
