Goliad Texas


After we said goodbye to our beautiful Mrs. Angie. We decided to take my mom for a little ride. Just to clear her mind. She's been pretty depressed. And I don't blame her. We stopped by The Hanging Tree in Goliad, Tx. 

This tree was used to execute. Story has it that over 70 people have been hung here. 
The court room is right behind it. Apparently, once they decided that they were going to be hung. They would just walk right on back and hang them. 
The little pink thing there is Jade lol. Goliad is a very tiny town. It has an old western feel to it. The stores were little and some were out to lunch and just hung a little sign saying "I'll be back in a bit" and wouldn't even lock the door. 

All in all it was pretty interesting.
