We left Fort Worth at 7:30 AM with Sandy and Joe West following in their truck and headed south on Highway 45 towards Galveston. We stopped for fuel in Hutchins, TX and then continued on to Huntsville, TX where we stopped at the huge statue of Sam Houston. The statue is 67’ tall with a 10’ granite base and can be seen for over 6.5 miles. We continued on the 45 south and stopped for lunch at Cracker Barrel. After we got through Houston we took state highway 518 east to the 146 south and into Kemah, TX. We checked in around 5:00 PM and got everything set up. Sandy and Joe took us over to Galveston where we drove past the historic section with huge beautiful mansions and then along the Gulf Coast on Galveston Island. After that we drove back to the Kemah boardwalk for dinner. We had a great seafood dinner at Babin’s Seafood Restaurant. After dinner we walked along the boardwalk and stopped to feed the stingrays at their aquarium. The rays feel really smooth and slippery but it was a little scary because they come clear up out of the water to get the fish and one of them spit water all over me. We finally returned to the motor home around midnight, visited for a little while and turned in for the night.
