January 6
Departs 4:00 pm
Welcome: Galveston, TX
Say hello to the thrills and excitement of the
massive amusement park at the Galveston
Pleasure Pier. Or stroll past well preserved
Victorian-era buildings in the Old Strand
District. Once called the 'Wall Street of the
South' , this charming commercial hub is home to mansions-turned-museums.
Seafood is king on Galveston Island.
Gulf shrimp, blue crabs, snapper and grouper come fresh off the boat. But the
signature Tex-Mex cuisine is equally impressive.
