Last month we celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday with a trip to Galveston, the island city less than two hours south of The Woodlands. We booked a beautiful two-bedroom suite at the Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa, and Convention Center, and our visit was the perfect marriage of luxury and comfort! I’ve lodged at the Moody Gardens Hotel many times over the past decade, and just when I think things can’t possibly get better, I’m pleasantly surprised! The online reviews you see on TripAdvisor and other sites seem to portray Moody Gardens as superior to the other island hotels for good reason – this Four Diamond Resort really does shine and is the best in Galveston!
Our Luxurious, Two-Room Suite
All the rooms I’ve experienced here have been simply lovely – clean, beautifully appointed with an authentic, tropical appeal. This time, our room was phenomenal! Our suite included two bedrooms (2 queen beds in one room; one king bed in the other) plus a kitchenette, a gorgeous living area with swanky furnishings, elegant molding, coffered ceilings, plum-colored accents, and a glass dining table with seating for eight. The floors, furniture, and counters were polished and flawless.
Wanna see some interesting historic houses? Galveston Historical Foundation opens the doors to Galveston’s incredible architectural history through public tours of privately owned homes during its annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour. Tours will be held on May 5, 6, 12 and 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are $30 for non-members before May 1 and $35 after and are available online at www.galvestonhistory.org. Members of Galveston Historical Foundation can purchase specially priced $25 tickets by calling 409-765-3405 or by visiting any of GHF’s retail locations.
“This year we highlight several houses featured on prior tours as a ‘rehabilitation in progress house.’ The before and after projects show great personal style, but still respect the history and architecture that makes our island’s properties so unique,” says Dwayne Jones, Galveston Historical Foundation’s Executive Director. “You will not want to miss this extraordinary line up of historic homes, from small to large, that will make you want your own architectural project in Galveston.”
May Day, known in previous years as April Pools Day, is set for 4-6 p.m. on Friday, May 4 at Shadowbend YMCA (6145 Shadowbend Pl, The Woodlands, TX 77381). This water safety event is open to the public and could potentially save a life.
The Woodlands Township Neighborhood Watch invites the community to the Smart Decisions for Safe Driving event on Sunday, May 6, 2018, from 2 to 5 p.m. at The Recreation Center at Rob Fleming Park, 6464 Creekside Forest Drive.
The Woodlands Township has expanded the Town Center Trolley to include service to Hughes Landing, beginning immediately. Residents and visitors can now park once and hop aboard the trolley at stops located on Hughes Landing Boulevard.
The free trolleys provide transit to popular retail, entertainment and office locations along the 4.1-mile route connecting The Woodlands Mall, Market Street, Town Center, The Woodlands Waterway and Hughes Landing. Stops are conveniently located near retail and business locations, making travel seamless and efficient for residents and visitors when shopping, moving about during the work day or enjoying the many restaurants, concerts and activities in The Woodlands.
