<p>The beaches at Galveston are not like the beaches along the FL, AL, MS Gulf Coast. You are right that the Miss River is the culprit. Rather than get the nice pretty white sand (which comes from erosion of the Appalachians and related features), Galveston (and most of the LA, TX beaches) get the silt, sand, and mud mixture than flows down the Mississippi. </p>
<p>DS#1 was at Galveston last weekend. He said the water was brown but the waves were good.</p>
<p>What about Moody Gardens? Is that back and running? I remember that being a marvelous place when we went years ago.</p>
<p>Oh - and I still vote for a trip to the Blue Bell factory!!! yummmm…</p>
