And we cruise to Shrimp 'N Stuff on Friday night. Tasty! And some people really dig the parades and partying and the beads. And some people enjoy sitting around the bonfire at the camp ground. And on Saturday we do a yummy crab boil. And there is an awesome mini golf course nearby which I have had fun at. And last year I found a place to eat downtown Galveston called Gumbo and it is to die for.

When it's cold & windy & dark you will be very glad u got one. Also when you have to get into your bus to go to the restroom,cause you can't walk to it cause it is about a 1/2 mile. Everything in Galveston got washed away during the hurricane, so they are still rebuilding the park. Bring lots of snacks & a smile and you should be just fine. There are lots of great restaurants in Galveston. Fabulous people to hang with. There's usually a shrimp boil on Saturday. Lots of Mardi Gras celebrations going on to do also. So how many beads will you go home with??? Katrina Sent from my iPad On Dec 31, 2011, at 10:34 AM, Denis Dodson <coocoo@xxxxxxx> wrote: 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.
