Ocean Star Oil Rig Museum

In August we drove down to Galveston Island with our visitors and toured the Ocean Star Oil Rig Museum. Since we live in "the world's petroleum capital" (Houston), we just had to check it out.

Shane is the practical joker of our family, he found a rig-man's jumpsuit and put it on without any of us noticing. I turned around and saw him walking over toward us and I thought he was a museum worker.

Of course the other kids had to dress-up too.

The kids favorite part of the tour was the walk across the ramp from the pier to the oil rig. We saw tons of pelicans, fish and jellyfish.
