:B :B True enough!

But, if you happen to be in San Leon you can tour Railean Rum where they make some excellent craft rum.

Call Lakewood and ask them about parking. I doubt you would find anything on that side of the freeway. Same with the Aquarium if you are indeed going to the one downtown. There may be a parking lot you can fit in close by.
Kemah Boardwalk is cool if you have kids. Otherwise go to the one downtown.

Rudy and Paco's is not a meal, it's an experience. Well worth the $$. Dress accordingly and enjoy.

Good suggestions! My DW is wanting to go to China or Korean Town so she'll probably go with her sister... sounds like a opportunity to visit PPL motorhomes although she'll veto that. Ironic I've been watching they're youtube video's.

Didn't realize there was 2 aquarium's will have to look into that. Is other Moody Gardens? Our campground will be 3 miles from Moody. Didn't see one in Kemah unless I missed it. And yes on the difference with the space centers. The space center campground doesn't sound appealing to us although it is a possibility. San Jacinto and Battleship Texas is now on the list, but how is the parking? Found the info on the walking info for the tree's will look into that as well.

May just pull the car down shouldn't cost over 1 mpg with the Focus.

Lakewood church occupies the old arena that the Rockets played in...in the Greenway plaza area off I-59 south west of downtown...all commercial...It's a experience but parking for your rig could be a issue, as all attendees use a parking garage...as for the Aquarium there are 2 as already stated, one downtown and the other in Kemah(the original) on the Galveston Bay waterfront/Clearcreek Channel. I live in Clear Lake Shores/Kemah where we have 2 RV facilities on FM 2094. For us locals the Fertitta family for the most part took over the Kemah waterfront and now rule without any semblance of a quality experience/tourist trap.

As for Nassa they're on the north side of
Clear Lake.

I've lived in CLS for 30+yrs and would never consider the Kemah water front for entertaining...Always prefer going to Galveston...Favorite eatery, Rudy and Pacos at 21st & Post officde.

Here's a recent thread regarding camping near Space Center Houston.

Please note that Space Center Houston (which is next to JSC) is different from Johnson Space Center. You cannot drive into, or 'tour' JSC except for a limited area called 'Rocket Park'. There's a constant stream of RV's being turned around at the JSC gates. That said, Space Center Houston is a great place to visit and they have a tram ride that takes you to JSC and Rocket Park.

You may want to visit the San Jacinto Monument (where Sam Houston and the Texians defeated Santa Anna after the Alamo) and Battleship Texas. The Houston Zoo and the Science Museum may be of interest.

You might have parking problems at the downtown Aquarium Restaurant, but there's another one with better parking at the Kemah Boardwalk near Space Center Houston.

OUCH! Since your DW is riding with her sister, that would make her one of your In-Laws, :E.....I hope none of them read your post...how many junk cars become "excessive"..:h.

While in Houston, if you're bored...go to PPL Motorhomes and look through their inventory. All their units are open and you'll get no salesperson unless you ask...

In Galveston, make sure you do the walking tour for the trees...they call it a walking tour but it's easier by car or bicycle....Dennis
