Kemah Boardwalk

Entrance to Kemah Boardwalk and a view of the boardwalk.

This boat is called the Beast.  It takes you out and races making rapid corners.  You will get wet.  It is only a half hour long.  I didn't think it was worth the price for such a short ride but the boat was jammed packed.

Nice place for a retirement business.  It has a number for more info.  A wooden roller coaster.

A couple more of the rides that are available.
Just a pic of the water.
Had a couple more pics but again we have limited Internet.  It is at our site but when the download started to get real slow I stopped it before we got shut off.  For a huge state it is pretty backwards when it comes to technology.

No excitement on the trip here except for going through a toll booth without paying.  We weren't sure if  EZ Pass would work and when we determined it wouldn't we were in the wrong lane.  There might be a letter with a fine notice when we get home.  We did pay the next two.  All so we didn't have to drive through Houston.  There was a creek called "Woman Hollering" on the way.  Thought that was pretty funny.  We crossed the Guadalupe River and the Colorado River and both had water in them.  They were both a bit low but not dry river beds like we have had up to now.  Our GPS let us down again.  There are highways alongside highways so it is confusing to begin with but "George" had the campground in the wrong spot.  We did Big Ben and the Parliament a couple of times and called for directions.  It was raining a bit when we got here so didn't take any camp pictures, maybe tomorrow.  It is very crowded, have us packed in pretty close but we aren't spending much time here so it is ok.  Tomorrow the Space Center.
