Thanks for posting,it is very interesting and certainly a possibility.It looks like this man was very strong willed and determined to keep this land in the family if you ask me.I have a photo of the virgin Mary that appears on a building in Florida,not matter how many times they would wash this building,(it had mirrors of it) the image would keep returning.Thanks for sharing,it sure looks legit to me.

Is there a list somewhere where I can tell what ships (that are museums) are where?
Ex.

USS Alabama – Mobile, Alabama
USS Stewart – Galveston, TX
I did google it, but I didn’t find what I needed. Thanks for being a

S-M-A-R-T A-S-S.

Got that? Kay.

This site lists a large number of US navy Museum ships, I can’t say if it is a complete list, but it is pretty thorough:

A group of friends and family (small children included) would like to go to Galveston. We have not been since Ike and do not know what is open or what is not. We only would like to go for the day and are taking our own food. It would be nice to be able to set up a tent and volleyball net but not neccessary if not permitted.

Hi I live in Alvin and i play beach volleyball at Stewart Beach right there on the sea wall. Stewart Beach is a non-acholic family beach. They have this HUMONGOUS inflatable water slide, sometimes up during Spring Break which right about now. It’s so much fun. Hope you have a great time at Stewart Beach!!

I first thought it was the composition of the sand, as I was directly comparing Gulf Coast beaches in Northwest Florida such as those in Pensacola, Destin, and Panama City (which all have sugary-white sand), to the beach at South Padre Island, Texas (which has darker beige sand). But then I looked at photos of beaches near Northwest Florida but in the adjacent states of Alabama and Mississippi — Dauphin Island/Mobile and Gulf Shores in Alabama and Biloxi in Mississippi. Those beaches have the same nice white sand that the Florida beaches do but the water colour is different. In Northwest Florida, the water is a tropical emerald blue-green colour, as you’d find in the Carribean or the Bahamas, while the water in Alabama and Mississippi (and Texas) is mostly a dull, dark blue-brownish colour. It seems like the proverbial God has blessed Florida with better beaches than the other Gulf Coast states, even when these other states’ beaches are just miles away from the beautiful ones in Florida. What’s the deal? The muddy Mississippi River empties out southeastward in Louisiana west of all the beaches in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, so I’m not sure it greatly affects those beaches, and South Padre Island in Texas is far, far south of the Mississippi River’s mouth (and away from the direction that it empties out), so it would seem unlikely that the river would have much impact on the colour of the water in Texas. South Padre Island is even Texas’s most beautiful beach (which still doesn’t compare to those in Northwest Florida), with beaches farther north on the state’s Gulf Coast such as Port Aransas and Galveston being uglier and browner. Why have Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi been shafted when it comes to beach beauty while Florida has taken all the blessings? Obviously, this has to do with Mother Nature, but Nature seems to have been very unfair to all the Gulf Coast states but Florida, if we are to judge.

Actually the beaches in Alabama are normally quite beautiful. There are times, based on currents and weather in the Gulf, when the water is a bit murky or brownish, but most of the time it is extremely blue and occasionally emerald green. I have been to Destin when it was murky as well, I suppose it is more rare in that spot than in Alabama, but you can check out my pictures and see some pretty water on the Gulf Shores beach.

Im going to Texas in May to watch a soccer game in Houston (Reliant Stadium) i was thinking instead of staying in houston, maybe Galveston will be fun? its not too far right? ive never been there, but i went on their website, and i think it will be more fun then houston. am i wrong???? im also in love with 3 hotels! (just from seeing pics from the sites) the st luis, mooody gardens, and hotel galvez….. which one is the nicest???? they are all around same price, so i want the nicest room/ pool/ restaurant. do u think i should even stay in galveston? it will be me and my boyfriend’s 1st vacation without our daughter, so we want something fun!!!

Whether you think Galveston will be more fun than Houston is completely dependant on what you like to do. I love Galveston, but you’ll find people on here who hate it and think there isn’t anything to do. It’s roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Houston, btw. Out of your 3 hotel choices, I’d choose the Galvez. It’s a gorgeous, historic building. But, the rooms are too small for some people’s tastes, so keep that in mind. Also, depending on how old your daughter is, staying at Moody Gardens might be better for you. If you plan on doing all of the attractions a Moody Gardens, staying on site would cut down on a lot of travel. But, it’s not on the beach like the Galvez and the San Luis are. So, it’s completely up to you and your tastes and interests. The San Luis is probably the "nicest" and Moody Gardens is probably the most updated. All 3 hotels are great properties though, so you can’t really go wrong with any of them. Have fun if you come to Galveston. Post back if you have any questions on activities or restaurant suggestions.
