Galveston Beach, Texas - Part 1
Last Saturday afternoon husband, daughter and I traveled to Galveston Beach by car. We left at about 3pm and husband picked up bread, smoked salmon, tomato and root beer at the Whole Foods Market in Arlington.
Halfway there on Interstate 45 highway we encountered sudden heavy rainfall with a visibility of 2 cars in front of us. So the wise move was to slow down to 40 miles per hour and watch out for crazy drivers who did NOT turn on their vehicles' headlights.
All praise be to Allah we got there safe and sound at about 9:30pm. We decided to check out the beach before finding a hotel accommodation. The beach was also quite crowded with people and dogs. We had to head back to the city of La Marque, 45 minutes north of the beach, to stay at the Days Inn.
On Sunday we left the hotel at around 10:30am. We arrived at the beach at noon and stayed for about one and half hours. While husband and daughter played on the beach, I had my umbrella and hand-cranked radio while enjoying the cool sea breeze.
We drove to Houston to pray at a mosque before picking up dinner (bread, croissant and snacks) for our journey back home.
All praise be to Allah SWT we reached home at about 10:30pm.
Sunny day at Galveston Beach
Lifeguard post and fishing pier on the beach
My relaxing spot on the beach. Picnic mat kindly donated by my dear sister!
After being on the road and out and about for two days, I am so glad today is Memorial Day holiday so that husband and I can sleep in longer!
