Rusty asked about Galveston. Bring lots of foul weather gear. I say foul weather because plain old rain gear just won't cut it. Put changes of clothes in plastic bags because everything in your world will be wet by day two. Bring galoshes. Put them on before you get out of your bus in the morning. The park rules say that you can't park on the grass, which means you are forced to park in the middle of the small lake that will form during the night. It will be about 4" deep and COLD. Save money for a new E-Z Up because you will find yours in the morning about fifty yards away in a tangled heap. The weather will be drizzle with periods of mist and intermittent rain in a strong cold wind. The food is good and the people are great.
