Last weekend, we drove 4 hours to Galveston and stayed at the state park there. We were on the Bay side, site #66, which really meant the marsh. There was water, but not really pleasant. We were joined by the Nelsons from WI, on their way back from a month in Alabama. Some in our party got chiggers, and the mosquitos were swarming. We were out and about a lot, so we really only got to sit outside for one night, but that was ok due to the bugs. The dog figured out how to open our bedroom door. We learned, when we did make it to the public beach area, that the dog does not like the ocean at all!! There were a few jellyfish washed up on shore.
Oh, and note to self, check the camper lights before you leave. Lots of games were played, including Authors, which I had not played in years.
