Driving from bush int to galveston ....anything to avoid

[Saving Up To Be Eccentric]

For eclectic shopping, your best best is The Strand, which is close by the cruise port anyway. Stop by La Kings for an old-fashioned soda jerk, and fresh made salt water taffy.

Other things the family might enjoy: Kemah Boardwalk, Moody Gardens, Space Center Houston's JSC tours, Houston Museum of Natural Science, but for the truly eclectic/funky taste, check out The Orange Show.

 

And you might want to check out the rec's from other threads on best seafood on the island. There are several good choices, but you may want reservations.
