Motorcycle Ride Through Galveston

Every motorcyclist needs to take a ride through Galveston.

Another adventure for me and my sidekick! We took advantage of a 3-day weekend from school and headed south to hang out with my uncle. Check out our Blue Knights motorcycle ride through Galveston, TX, in a nutshell.

We did quite a lot in those three days, from walking around Kenah Boardwalk, visiting a nearby Fall festival, having a sample at Haak Winery in Santa Fe, and letting Brody play at the beach. Still, our favorite and most memorable was our motorcycle ride. This was my first motorcycle ride, and so was Brody’s.

Our Blue Knights Motorcycle Ride Through Galveston

Once again, I went to Facebook to ask where a mom, a kid, and two dogs could go on a 3-day weekend. I had a few suggestions from friends and also from my uncle. Of course, we were looking for a place for fun and adventures, as we always do. Uncle Roger “again” immediately spoke up and invited us to his house south close to Houston and said he would take us on a motorcycle ride. Woohoo, I’m in! The last time he spoke up and invited us somewhere, Brody and I took a road trip to the Frio River with his family and had the best time!

Uncle Roger tried on different helmets for Brody during our Sunday motorcycle ride.

The weather was quite gorgeous – a cold spell came through on Friday, and by the time our Blue Knights Motorcycle ride came around on Sunday, it was feeling pretty good outdoors. My uncle let me borrow what I didn’t bring for our journey. Can you tell this was my first time riding on a Harley, let alone on a 5-hour ride? WOW – it was pretty cool. Check out that jacket! Oh, what about my fingernail polish – it matched!

Not every day a kid gets to ride in a Slingshot across Galveston Island. This kid was in awe. Jean, the owner and driver of her gorgeous Slingshot, said Brody was a fantastic passenger but kept asking, “When are we going to get there?” The ride was long, but it was a sight to see for me. I love seeing our Galveston Island grow and all those gorgeous homes alongside the beach. But for a kid, maybe not.

Our Blue Knights motorcycle ride through Galveston just got sweeter!

The Blue Knights Squad And Convoy

We headed out around 8:30 a.m. and met everyone at a nearby gas station. Then, we went to Galveston and Freeport, where we stopped for breakfast. What great conversations we had. Everyone was so lovely to Brody and me, and one person even gave Brody a Blue Knight knife. Everyone took turns showing us how to open and close that darn thing.

After breakfast, we returned to where we first met via the other direction. I remember hearing from a gentleman who said he might go back the way we came because he loved the sights along the coast. I’m not sure if he did or not. Our motorcycle ride couldn’t have been more memorable. I know Brody will not forget riding that small but unique 3-wheel motorcycle.

Here are fun pics from our day at the beach and our visit to Haak Winery in Santa Fe, TX.

I did not expect anyone to be swimming or playing in the water at Galveston Beach in October. We didn’t bring his swimsuit—oh well, that didn’t stop him!

It wouldn’t be prudent if I didn’t share a photo of my uncle and my dogs. I think Uncle Roger got attached to them!
