I've never been to the Forgotten Gateway exhibit.
This exhibit is all about the immigration that came through Galveston, TX earlier in the last century. It was an important immigration entry even before Ellis Island. The exhibit explores the impact immigration had on the South and Western parts of the US. It is located at Moody Gardens in Galveston through September 2010.

Galveston after the hurricane
I've never been to Galveston after the hurricane.
I know many people were trying to return to see the damage done to their homes. I am afraid that there were also some trying to go over just to see the devastation. On Tuesday, Galveston mayor had issued a "look and leave" policy that Galveston residents could come back to the island to view their property and had to leave again by 6pm. The response was enormous! It seems that more than expected tried to return. The freeway was backed up for miles as folks tried to return from as far away as San Antonio. Work crews could not get back to help with clean up and power restoration. And trying to get thousands of folks off the island by 6pm was nearly impossible. The mayor and city officials had a hard time enforcing the "look and leave". Even if they would have posted exit signs, I doubt people would have responded! It was another traffic mayhem that evening. The next day, folks were not allowed in, in an effort to keep order and continue the clean up and recovery process. Hopefully the next time they let folks come back will be an easier process.

Galveston.com on YouTube
I'd never been to Galveston.com on YouTube before.
Just today I found the Galveston.com website has added an informational video to YouTube featuring Galveston Beaches. The video highlights East Beach, Stewart Beach and the West end beaches. We prefer the West end beaches so you park right on the beach. The sandcastle contest on East Beach is something that I would really like to check out with all its many sculptures.

Schlitterbahn Galveston
I've never been to Schlitterbahn in Galveston.
It is apparantly not just for summer anymore! It is the first indoor, climate controlled waterpark in Texas. You can enjoy a tidal wave river, four enclosed tube slides and three speed slides. There are three kid's areas, a man made beach and a hot tub. The 70,000 square foot area boasts a retractable roof, allowing you to play in the Texas sun or play indoors in heated water.
