(map is incorrect) "On September 13th, 2008, Hurricane Ike covered most of the Island in a tidal surge. The damaging combination of powerful wind and waves immediately uprooted many trees, but ultimately the salty storm waters led to the demise of the thousands of others. Ike forced us to say a sad goodbye to so much of the island’s beautiful tree canopy. Years later, sculpture artists have breathed second life into something Mother Nature attempted to destroy. Whimsical sculptures have replaced the majestic oaks that once lined many neighborhood streets and shaded homes. Tucked into gardens and nestled in side yards the sculptures are there for you to enjoy." https://www.galveston.com/whattodo/tours/self-guided-tours/treesculpturetour/

Shopping, Eating, and Seeing all in one

Historic district of Galveston with several blocks of shopping and restaurants that will remind you a little of New Orleans' French Quarter. Lots of historic Victorian buildings and houses nearby. https://www.galveston.com/whattodo/tours/self-guided-tours/historical-markers/1860-70-the-strand/

Buc-ee's is the king of all gas stations - with excellent treats, clean bathrooms, every snack you can imagine, souvenirs, and silly billboards. You won't be disappointed. Buy the t-shirt because Buc-ee's is a phenomenon. And, everything is bigger in Texas. You'll see.

Food scene

*FAVORITE* Houston’s favorite Tex Mex! And, our favorite food of all time. There's one just north of the house, maybe 10 minutes.

Don’t be fooled by the outside! This place is just around the corner and it's the real deal for good ole Texas BBQ. Be sure to try the smoked sausage, the fried pickles, the chopped brisket sandwich, as well as the ribs, of course!

This is THE grocery store in Texas. If you plan to go buy groceries, hit one of the many HEB grocery stores around. They make lots of fresh stuff in store, including yummy tortillas and an amazing bakery, and have lots of ethnic variety. You won't be disappointed!
