Once in Galveston, we arrived at the Coastal Dreams B&B - and had a hard time ever leaving! I found the B&B through Google...it looked like a lovely place and was around the corner from the house my cousins were renting, but we were so pleased at how terrific the B&B actually was. And we were the ONLY guests that weekend!The B&B is a historic Victorian house built in 1887, a "storm survivor" as they're called in this town that barely survived the "1900 Storm," a hurricane that obliterated the city and killed more than 6,000 people.
Apparently the house fell into disrepair in recent years, but was resurrected by its current owner and B&B pro, Lana (seen above here with my mother, bed-headed nephew Sam, Eric, and the ever-cute Miss Pokey, Lana's furry companion). She restored the place a few years back, retaining much of its original wood and windows (and its four-foot-wide front door!).
Lana was a dreamy hostess, friendly and welcoming as though we were family - and she's a great cook, to boot! Her morning breakfasts were wonderful, and she keeps the house constantly stocked with snacks, coffee, teas, etc. When gray skies and a serious rainstorm hit on Saturday, the B&B was the perfect place to hunker down under a big comfy comforter with a cup of hot tea. Thank you for a great weekend Lana and Miss Pokey!Mom with Miss Pokey
