More than 30 miles of beaches plus a wealth of cultural and historic institutions make this island a Gulf of Mexico vacation hot spot. If you go, don't forget your walking shoes: With 14 museums and 20 art galleries, plus several historic homes and mansions, there's a lot of ground to cover. Armchair pilots will love the Lone Star Flight Museum and those with more of a nautical interest can check out the Texas Seaport Museum. Families will enjoy the many child-friendly attractions, including Moody Gardens, with its replica of a tropical rain forest. It's easy to get caught up in all the activities, but don't forget to spend some downtime in the sun and on the beach.

I've been wanting to get a kite for some time, but there aren't many places to buy one. We were visiting friends in Galveston and I saw the kites flying outside of this store and just had to stop. The saleslady at the store was very nice and helped me pick out the right kite for me and even gave me some tips on reeling in the kite. I also bought a few fun flags for our house flaghholder. So many fun choices on kites and flags.
