Vacation in Galveston in July 2008



Date of last edit = 06/28/2009





We stayed at a timeshare called Silverleaf Seaside Resort, which is located on the west end of Galveston Island, near Jamaica Beach. During this vacation, we spent time at the beach, played tennis, swam at the resort pool, played putt putt, watched the sunset from the back balcony of our unit at the resort, watched July 4th fireworks from that same balcony, and occasionally drove into Galveston for tourist activities such as visiting Moody Gardens and the Strand Historical District. During late hours in the evening and early morning hours we watched Wimbledon Tennis on TV. The timing of this vacation was most fortunate as 2-1/2 months later, the entire island was pummeled by Hurricane Ike.


Below are a couple dozen photos taken during our vacation.
