Galveston Oh Galveston!

When my sister Jeanne was visiting from Indiana, George and I took her on a much anticipated RV trip to Galveston.  We left on a Wednesday and came back on Sunday.

We're on our way!
(You can click any photo to enlarge it.)

We're here!
Wasn't that fast?
Driving down Sea Wall Blvd. to the RV park.

George getting us all hooked up outside.

Every day we had a perfect mix of weather--some rain, lots of warm sunshine, and always a sweet breeze.  One day, rain was forecasted until the afternoon so we went shopping and ate.

We started at Murdochs because Jeanne wanted to buy some souvenirs.  Murdochs is a u-shaped, large, and very cool shop on the beach.  It's up on stilts, and the middle section provides a wonderful breezeway.  

Here it is looking out to the ocean.
They serve beer, frozen 
drinks, and other beverages too! 

A kind lady offered to take our 
picture out on the breezeway.

Back inside.
We had cameras.
There were cutouts.
It had to be done!

Like I said, we had cameras!

After Murdochs, we went to 
Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company.
It was yummy!

Back on the beach...

Jeanne was getting up out of a 
chair when she was suddenly 
attacked by a 
Land Shark!

We were 
HORRIFIED
until
we realized 
that it was merely
the Boogie Board!
 Phew, close one!

Of course, there was swimming!
Jeanne and George even tried to 
boogie board without much success.

We walked Sally and Daisy Mae 
on the beach every evening.
It made them very happy doggies!

Lots of kite flying went on in the RV park.

A rainbow over a kite!

Jeanne tried to decipher a 
secret message out of a seashell.
It softly whispered, 
"There is NO secret message woman!"

I had art supplies aboard so I journaled a bit, and Jeanne painted shells that she picked up.  We had fun!

We stayed in Dellanera RV Park.  I recommend it to RVers who love the beach because it's located on the beach!  To show you how close we were to the beach, I climbed the ladder on the back of the RV and took photos.

This is one of them.
The tide was in so you
don't see a lot of beach
but it's there.
As I navigated the ladder, I found myself singing a little ditty:

"Up on the rooftop, I did pause
To snap a pic with my little claws
On through the lens, I saw a pic
There goes my finger, click, click, click!"

Do you recognize that festive tune?

More from the RV rooftop
Might as well, since I'm up here.

Here's a short video that
provides a 360 view of the area.
I hope the video works because I sure had a tough time getting it on the blog.

We had a very relaxing and fun three days in Galveston, and we will have to come here again.

With Wavy Smiles,
