Carey's Playground

<<< Shopping at Academy

Stop for Lunch >>>

June 24, 2006:

We got to the Inn around 2pm. We decided to stay in Texas City, since it was only 10 miles away, and it was about $100 less a night than what was available in Galveston (at $90/night). We quickly dropped off our items, and headed off towards Galveston.
