But things, primarily cosmetic, began to bug us, and after the trip to Orlando we wanted to try a more stable pull.
So between trips we found a fifth wheel that met our needs. But as we only had a few days, we opted to go to Galveston in the old work horse.
Leaving home on Sunday morning meant lesser traffic, which was good. Rain around Houston, however, was a bit stressful. But we got to Jamaica Beach, settled in, and began our coast vacation. We even managed a turn in the Lazy River.
Monday was hanging around camp but lunch was at Bennos and we had burgers on the grill.
There were storms down here with lots of rain. Tuesday was cooler and overcast so we went to Surfside and had lunch at the Seahorse Bar and Grill. The potions were huge.
The storms last night kept us up, so we took a nap then went to eat at West Isle Marina. Lance met is there.
It is cool to eat right on the water.
The rains didn't really clear until Wednesday afternoon. Kay and Marvin came to visit and Mom and Dad went to Bennos with them for lunch. We went to the beach.
The seven of us went to Miller's for supper. Our waiter was fantastic!. .the food was phenomenal too!. IMHO the crab balls are the best. The Shrimp n' Stuff food truck had good ones also but they were a close second!
Out habit has been to walk in the evenings, so we did that before bed.
Thursday was a slow morning, but after coffee we went to the seafood market for shrimp and redfish to take home. I grilled up some shrimp for a light lunch and we air-dried our left over crab balls. The to the lazy river. Stephanie got really sunburned today!
The kite store is always fun!
Supper was Cooper's Landing at Lance's suggestion. The food was really good. The crab stuffed redfish was phenomenal!
Then back to walk and get to bed. Tomorrow we head home.
Last Day -
It was hot this morning. Finally sun when there is work to do!
Brandon and family went to Galveston for breakfast while the rest of us rode bikes. We struck out toward home around 11.
Dad was having issues towing his truck so we stopped at the Huntsville rest area. The battery was dead and wheels locked up. It's a new truck so the battery should not have been completely dead. Jumper cables didn't help.
So we watched the truck while they went to Madisonville for a battery. We got it installed, hit the road, and was home by a bit after 7 pm.
It made for a long day. In the end, just under 600 miles and a mpg of 10.3 at the end of it all. Not too bad!
