Sandcastles.. not just for children anymore.

This was the 9th year that my company competed in the AIA Sancastle competition. This is a huge event put on in Galveston every June by the American Institute of Architects with most of the competitors being engineering firms, architechture firms and professional societies. There were 90 "castles" in all and there was some pretty amazing stuff out there. My company was right next to Bonnie's company, so that was a lot of fun. HNTB's theme was "June of the Penguins" and I had a really good time going back and forth between working my booty off and slacking off completely. The top picture shows our surfboard penguin still in very rough form with Rob using it's head as a coaster :) The bottom picture shows our completed site about 5 hours after we started.
