Traveling with the Longdogs: On the Road Again.....

Mary Jane, Carolyn, and I rolled out of Wilderness Oaks RV Resort in Rockport about 9:30AM We had a smooth trip east on Texas 35 which took us more or less along the coast. We were a little concerned about water along the San Luis Pass area due to all the rain in the area recently. The San Luis Pass Toll Bridge is interesting. The bridge is about a mile long and there is a little toll booth that charges $2......no change. The lane is 10 feet wide at best and the man in the toll booth sits much lower than my truck window so I had to pull past and open my door to deposit my $2 in the revolving bin. They have added a second revolving bin at the top of the toll booth window but it is still too low for me to reach. Here we are coming off the bridge.....me in front, Mary Jane behind me and Carolyn tailing us.

Right along the coast at Surfside, there was water across the road but not enough to be a problem. There wasn't much traffic so we could just cross over into the other lane. Next stop....Jamaica Beach RV Resort.. This is a large resort with a number of amenities.

There is a mini-golf course in the middle.

They have added a lazy river behind the fence sinc I was here last.

All the sites are pull-through.

We settled in Wednesday and then we set out on Thursday to do some sight-seeing after we got registered. We drove into Galveston and on towards the opening into Galveston Bay. There were lots of ships.

Lots of people along the shore, some fishing.

As you can see, the day was very overcast......on the verge of raining any moment.

This interesting Peanut Butter Warehouse apparently also houses Coffee Roasters.

Back along the main beach, here is the popular pier.

We decided to have an early dinner at Fish Tales. We ate there several times on a previous trip.

It was nice enough to sit out on the balcony across from the beach.

Carolyn talked us into a lovely drink.

This is half of a ribs and shrimp kisses dinner. Mary Jane and I decided to split a plate because we knew they were large. Instead of just giving us an extra plate, the waiter plated it separately. He was a great waiter.
