This was site 5 at The Sandpiper RV Resort on Galveston Island, and it was our second time there in that spot. One of the perks was the City of Galveston has a free a fitness center at McGuire Dent Recreation Center. and we used it often. We also rode bikes as much as possible and enjoyed watching all the ships in the Gulf and in the shipping channels.
As long as the weather cooperates, Galveston is a great place to bike ride and enjoy the sights. Lots of entertainment, shops, and fine restaurants on Seawall Blvd to enjoy.
The main problem with going to Galveston is that Houston stands between you and the rest of the less hectic world. Driving through Houston is always interesting and a challenge., but when you go through the Houston metro area you have to visit a Buc-ee's Convenience store. They are huge and have the neatest gifts and tons of great food items. We stopped at one that had something like 52 fuel pumps and the clerk said that they were building a new one in Baytown that would have over 90 fuel pumps!
While we were in Galveston we got to enjoy a theatrical production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", which I must say was fun and quite.....different. The theater which is down on The Strand is a nice theater that even offered beer and wine for a "donation".
After our Galveston stay we decided to try this winter in Arizona since the Florida panhandle area, actually Destin, was way too cold last year. We finally decided to give Tucson a try and booked our stay at the KOA/Lazydays RV park with the hope of maybe getting a workamper position. So on January 4th, 2015 we fired up the rolling fortress and off for a 4 day trip to Tucson. We usually drive 300 miles or 5 hours, after all...what's the hurry?
