Cory's grandfather, Grumpy, ran the Galveston Cotton Exchange for years, so while we were down at the beach, we decided to ride on over to the Strand and get a few pictures of B&B in front of the building.
The Cotton Exchange closed after Grumpy passed away, but the building remained open as there were other offices inside (that was until Ike hit...the building is now vacant).
For some unexplained reason, the front door was cracked, so we thought we would go in and check it out and I'm so glad we did...just see for yourself!
This picture is so cute because it looks like Brooks is reading one of the plaques and it looks as if Burkley is dusting off a place for her to sit!

This is my FAVORITE picture from our quick trip to the Cotton Exchange.I just LOVE how Cory is explaining to B&B what Grumpy did in this room!
This room was so neat...huge chalkboards where they documented cotton from all over the world (if you look closely, you can see things still written on them).
All 3 of my babies taking it all in!
Cory, Brooks, and Burkley in the board room!

I LOVE these Members Only doors! 
This was such an amazing trip and despite the BLAZING heat, I'm glad we did it. I know it meant a lot to Cory and it meant so much to me too. I loved listening to him tell B&B about Grumpy and show them around the Cotton Exchange. This trip brought back a lot of memories for Cory and it will never be forgotten!

Thank you sooo much for posting this! Brings back a lot of memories, and Grumpy would have been so proud to have B&B down there!
