We're back from a week at the beach. Hurricane Dolly hit the Texas coast much further south than Galveston, but she still affected our weather. More cloudy and rainy days that not, but that was a blessing. We'd have all gotten sunburned early in the week if Dollly hadn't arrived. As it was, we all got sunburned on our last day there.
The waves/storm surge were/was incredible. We actually went to the beach on the day that Dolly hit and the waves were huge compared to the first day there. The boys enjoyed standing there and getting hit by the big waves.
I enjoyed the seafood at the various restaurants. Again, Casey's Seafood Cafe wins out www.gaidosofgalveston.com as the best seafood place. Their pecan pie dessert is absolutely wonderful.
They have lots of waitresses from Moldova working there this summer. Just an interesting fact.
If you're looking for a nice get-away, I'd recommend the beach house we rented: http://www.galvestonrentalhome.com. It's close to the beach, not in an overcrowded area and has all the amenities of home. Just take extra soap and toilet paper! They even have a washer and dryer on site and that made it soooo nice. I did not have to come home with suitcases full of dirty laundry! That's a vacation in and of itself.
