Hotel Galvez
The Hotel Galvez was known as the "Queen of the Gulf" on the day she opened in 1911. For nearly a century, this charming hotel has been the choice of guests as demanding and diverse as Teddy Roosevelt, Howard Hughes, Frank Sinatra and the Shultz family.
A Day at the Beach
Tyler spent most of the day digging a hole while Greerson dug a canal from the hole to the ocean to fill it up. The rest of us lounged in the sun and watched the physics lesson in progress.

1877 Elissa
As one of only three pre-20th-century tall ships in the United States that has been restored to full sailing capacity, Elissa has already been declared a National Historic Landmark and one of America's Treasures by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Built in Scotland in 1877, Elissa was a rusting hulk when she was rescued from a Greek scrap yard by the Galveston Historical Foundation in 1974. The foundation purchased the ship in 1975 and restored her over the course of eight years and at a cost of nearly $7 million, bringing a vital link to Galveston's maritime past back to life.
