The Beach

May 28, 2004 - 4:55pm

Kristen, Marisa, Jenny, and I are going to Galveston for the long Memorial Day weekend! Marisa is getting married in a couple weeks and this is her bachelorette weekend aka girls weekend at the beach. I'm looking forward to spending time with some really neat ladies and getting a tan!


Here's the cute house we're staying in!

The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the drive south. For those of you not knowledgeable of the Texas highways, Texas has a north/south problem. Basically it's that there are only two north/south expressways and a whole gabillion people using them. Neither highway is wide enough to handle the amount of traffic on them especially on holiday weekends. To make it even worse, there are miles of construction which narrow the highway down to one lane. I'm guessing that what should be a 6 hour trip is going to be closer to 10 hours. At least I'll have good company.

If you want to avoid the traffic on I-45 south you could take I-35 (not much better) to Highway 6 (in Waco) and it's a straight shot to Houston. Sometimes it gets backed up when you get to College Station, but other times it is smooth sailing...
