While we were in Victoria we took time to do a little siteseeing. We drove down to Port Lavaca one afternoon. We got to see the ocean and we weren't disappointed. We drove out to Magnolia Beach and found several RVers boondocking on the beach. Most of them were Canadians. Boondocking on the beach really intrigues us, but we aren't quite sure about the salt spray on the coach. Don't want to purposely subject it to corrosive materials.
Yesterday we drove over to Goliad which was the site of a massacre of Texas Revolutionary militia under the command of Fannin by Santa Anna. We visited a mission and then the presidio, where the doomed prisoners were kept. The entire presidio has been reconstructed to appear as it was in the 1800's. It is quite impressive and the church is beautifully restored.
This morning we left Victoria at 9 a.m. We headed toward Houston and arrived there around 11. We chose to take the toll road around Houston which turned out to be a good choice. Total cost was $15.75, but the piece of mind with Terry driving was worth it. He doesn't normally drive the big cities, but he was at the wheel and decided to stick with it. The toll road was not heavily traveled and we got around Houston easier than Indy. We are in the Gulf Coast RV Resort at Beaumont, Texas. Tomorrow we head toward Kinder where we have reservations in the casino campground.
Till next time. . .

In the "small world" category, we're sitting at the Gulf Coast RV Resort awaiting the free breakfast and our departure. (no PA discount for our stay because they are packed with vacationers...oh well) I read your post on toll road around Houston as Jack was trying to decide if we should choose that route. Thanks for the info, we will pay $16 to avoid city traffic. Happy Trails!
