    I am a fan of Fred. Fred Hartman bridge, that is. I fell in love with this bridge for the first time when we moved down here in 2001. I thought it was the coolest bridge ever, and there was just something about it that I loved. Fast forward thirteen years and all of a sudden, I'm planning on running a half marathon over the darn thing. Hey, love makes you do crazy things! Before the half in November, we decided we needed to do a training run to get past the fear of the unknown. But we had to make sure we took a couple of people that knew how to get around and where to park, as it's not the easiest bridge to run on, unlike Kemah. You park at the public boat ramp, then run along a little road and head up the bridge going south, (always, always run against traffic, especially on bridges), you run and run and run and think "Damn, this is a long bridge...does it ever end?" and then finally, you get up and over, and on your way down. Whew. Then you're running down the other side and woo hoo gravity is awesome again! You have to actually jump over a barrier to get to the frontage road below so you can cross under to go back to run the other side. On the other side, you have to climb up a a little to jump back over a barrier to get back on the bridge. Truly, it's kinda hard to know where to do all this if you're a newbie like me. But then you're heading the other way and holy cow now you're feeling it. Oh yeah, this is a LONG bridge - oh but wait, there's the San Jacinto Monument...that's cool. And then you get to the top and the hard part is over! You do have to run over a flyover bridge to get back down to the road by the boat ramp. And some of the cars do fly across it. So just be aware and be careful. They do go fast on the bridge itself, but there's a wide shoulder, and has four lanes, so plenty of room for people to move over. So just be cautious and be aware. All in all, including getting to the bridge, under the bridge, and back to the boat ramp, I ran 6.02 miles. The half marathon is one full loop so the other 6+ miles is on the flat areas around La Porte. It's not as hard as it looks, but it's not a walk in the park either. But if you want to feel like a badass, then run over this bridge and join that club! There's always room for new members!

    I find it comical that we can review the bridge. I'm giving it 5 stars because it's a bridge that does its job. Lol

    One lane closed on the side going into Baytown today. It is still a great work of art not to be missed.

    The bridge is way better than the tunnel ever was, but why does it always smell like something dead?

    I like history and things that are free/cheap so this location ticked both boxes when I was looking…read morefor something to do with my family while visiting the Houston area. I mean, who can pass up a cool memorial that is similar to the Washington monument in DC but it's in Texas so bigger (of course). We came on an afternoon during the hot, mid-June sun and there was not a soul there. The indoor museum was closed and we thought the whole park was closed at first, but no, it was just hot and most sane people were indoors. Hey, we're Minnesotans, we thrive in harsh weather conditions, mother nature be damned. We wandered around the grounds to see what this place had to offer. The monument with reflecting pond was cool to walk around, it is a really tall monument that can be seen for miles. Not a lot of stuff is built up around it though, so it feels way out in the middle of nowhere. It was also somewhat unnerving that we didn't see other people. A few more crazy people like us came after awhile and eased our nerves. It seems most people give a quick walk around the tower and then leave. Unfortunately, there was no battleship on the property as some other sites and reviews mention. That was a bummer, I would have gladly paid to take a look at that piece of history. That was kind of the ticket I used to get my family here, so once they figured out there wasn't a boat here, we packed up the car and left. Still a great piece of history that holds a special place in the heart of Texans (and the nation) everywhere. Interesting historical story to read about later too after visiting the site and seeing it first hand.

    We were so impressed by the monument & museum! We immediately went to the top of the monument for…read morethe view & it did not disappoint. Then we toured the museum, then watched an excellent film on the history of the San Jancinto battleground. Afterwards, we walked the nature trail, still admiring the impressive view of the monument. FYI, Texas mosquitoes are huge and hungry even into late November. We're from Alabama & are used to mosquitoes, but seriously, we have never been swarmed by so many mosquitoes all at once. They even bit us through our clothes. Who does that?! Overall, we loved this place & it was probably the highlight of our trip to the Houston Bay Area.
