Allergy no more! I'm Loving Galveston!!

Overnight stop near Ennis, Tx at High View Park.
Galveston bound!! Stopped at High View Park near Ennis, a COE park that is only $16 for the night (1/2 price for seniors with the COE pass, we're not there yet but FYI for you that are) We wanted to stay at the Waxahachie Creek park but it was already closed for the season.

I've always loved Galveston but I now have reason to love it more! I have been plagued with horrible allergies since January in Las Vegas, then Canon City was no better and Lawton was even worse! To cough and cough and cough with no relief is miserable! Benedryl helped but made me "foggy" as the commercials say. Galveston must not have the trees, which seems to be Cedar and Cottonwood, that has caused my coughing! Yea!!
Bruce found a beautiful RV Park here - Sandpiper RV Resort - and boy is it nice! View of the Gulf, concrete sites with grass between them, pool, hot tub, I'm thinking it will be very hard to leave this place! And did I mention I wasn't coughing anymore? :-)  We haven't taken pictures of our site yet but will post some in the next day or so.
Took about an hour walk along the beach, I think I was a mermaid in my previous life. I'm so at peace here.





















We went to Miller's Seawall Grill to see if it was still as good as it was when we were here in 2008 - and it was! Our server, Leah, was very friendly and we questioned her about living on the island. Seems she came here after Katrina and just before Ike. She said that Miller's got about 3 feet of water inside the building but the owner was thrilled that the ceiling was not damaged. It has some beautiful woodwork on it.
We spent our 1st couple of days just chilling by the pool/hot tub and getting the rig cleaned up to rid the inside of the pollen. Did I mention my allergies are better? :-)
