| Mike and Lisa - duet |
Sunday January 13th 2013
Had a great time with our neighbours, Mike and Lisa, at the Karaoke night last night (they both sang and did well!!)
This park has some very talented singers (mixed in with a few who just wanna get up and belt out a favourite tune - regardless of talent... and that's great!!)

Today we decided to set off to Galveston to check out potential RV parks for February. It was a long day of driving (about 9 hours return straight driving), but it was a cold, windy day and we had nothing pressing that needed doing. Well worth the trip.

We visited the Sandpiper RV resort which we had tentatively booked for February and found it will suit us fine, so no need to look further. It is right on the ocean, concrete pads etc. Great pool and whirlpool and VERY close to the centre of Galveston and the cruise ship terminal that we will be leaving from on our W Carib cruise in Feb. We will just leave the rig set up and the truck with it and grab a cab for cruise (less than 2 miles away).

Drove around for a while and then picked Joe's Crab Shack for lunch before heading back. not sure about the little messages the server wrote on our bobs, but ignored it all when we dove into the steamer pot of crab legs, mussels, and scallops, with corn and potatoes ($23 as a shared pot, plenty for both of us) .... delicious... a definite return-to spot when we get to Galveston. After a quick stop at a local bakery for a treat we headed back to Austin.
