Be sure to have a full tank of gas, because Galveston is worth making a detour for. Situated 30 miles from Anahuac, it offers up a few fabulous attractions, such as Moody Gardens and Galveston Schlitterbahn Waterpark. Houston, 45 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the drive. Stop by Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park, two popular sights in the area.
