Small town / Big names

Kemah is a relatively small town, only about 3,400 people{you can get the whole rundown on the town's history here}, but there are some big named peeps in this town!

Though, we have never seen them around town, we have heard that one of the ZZ Top guys has a house nearby. 

Jessica Alba was here during the filming of one of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition shows, along with the whole ABC crew!!!

This is the house in all its Home Makeover glory!! The Beach family adopted & fostered over 85 children, several with special-needs. Their house, sitting on 1 acre, a few blocks from the Kemah Boardwalk,  boasts 8 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a game room & a media room. The house has since been sold to a group that plans on turning it into a high-end drug treatment facility. You can see more photos and read all about it here
(This is how it looks today, complete with a parking lot for its new endeavor)

We cruise by Danielle Steele's elaborate home {& sometimes see her 100' yacht} every time we go out sailing. The house & yacht are equally exquisite!!!

And then there's Joe & Jennifer Bricker. And, if you ask them, they'll tell you, "We're kind of a big deal!!" There's just something about the dynamic duo! Once you meet them, you'll know what I'm talking about. And if you've already met them? Well then, you might be kind of a big deal, too!! 

Hahaha, but seriously, we kinda are!!!! ;)
