Many impressive buildings in Galveston. More detail in my next blog. Have to head for bed to have enough sleep for the Space Center tomorrow!

Galveston, oh Galveston - Sat., Aug. 2

That's right, we're headed to Galveston for four days to listen to and feel those sea winds blowin'. Can't wait to be on the road again. [Jeez, I feel like I'm singing a country western medley with lyrics by Glen Campbell and Willie Nelson.]

After 5-1/2 days of work this week, I'm really looking forward to this get-away planned by Bob. He bought tickets for us to go on the super duper tour at NASA's Space Center Houston! One day is a guided tour and we have a second day to go through all the museums. How cool is that?

Time to prep the inside of Rigamarole (our 5th wheel) for take-off. We leave Sunday morning.

While we're gone my Escape pod is in the shop getting it's 100,000 mile service, having transmission diagnostics, recall work done, and having the brakes checked. Gotta keep my Escape in tip-top shape.

While we're in Galveston we plan to do some Volksmarches, maybe even one in Houston. We'll see how our time goes.

Future plans are taking shape for our September/October trip to Wisconsin and Michigan. Bob suggested we add on more state capitals so I can work on my Volksmarch State Capitals patch. I see some upcoming nights being spent on the logistics of where to park our 5th wheel for walks in downtowns.

Stay tuned.
