Galveston: Week in Review

Friday, 8 January 2016
Galveston Island State Park — Galveston, Texas
Temp Range: Hi 69F (21C) / Lo 40F (4C)

Crossing the Corpus Christi ChannelOur first week after leaving Port A for our winter Phaeton travels flew by in the blink of an eye.  Before we move on to our next stop tomorrow, I want to share what we did in Galveston.  It will be a long post, so don’t say you weren’t warned.

Our plan was to leave GWRVR on January 2.  The forecast put forth by the weather gurus suggested that was not a good idea, so we delayed our departure by a day, arriving at Galveston Island State Park (GISP) after a smooth drive on the 3rd instead.  After several gray and gloomy days in a row, it sure felt good to find ourselves in a place with sunshine and blue skies.
