The island romance of Galveston b&bs
This past week I received an email follow up from Barb Gatlin with Grace
Manor B&B on the progress in Galveston.
All of the member
b&bs with the Galveston
B&B Association which are featured at Southpoint from our
previous visits are open -
Grace Manor, The Garden Inn, The Queen
Anne, Inn at 1816 Postoffice, Avenue O B&B, Coppersmith Inn, The Villa
B&B, and Lost Bayou B&B.
What
these B&Bs offer are personal glimpses into why Galveston is so special.
It shows in the resilience of their residents, the Victorian
architecture, and the rich heritage of the island.
Each B&B offers a
unique perspective of Galveston in historic surroundings, near the
beach, with the added benefit of a delicious breakfast included in
relaxing surroundings.
The
beach, Schlitterbahn Water Park, Moody Gardens, the Bishop's Palace, the
Lone Star Flight Museum, and several other attractions are now open on
the island.
Star Drug Store is now re-opened as well, serving
delicious treats from the original 1917 soda fountain counter. I
overheard some people today in Austin talking about making plans to
spend a few days in Galveston at Moody Gardens and the other attractions.
As
the island continues to get back to normal, now is a great time to plan
a visit to Galveston.
