Join me on a 4K no talking drive through Alvin on Independence Day weekend!
We start west of Alvin on TX State Highway 6. We head into Downtown Alvin and get a look at the flags out for Fourth of July. We explore the downtown for a while before driving through Alvin Community College. Later we check out some of the local schools and sports complexes before getting caught up in some strong rain as we head out of town on Highway 6.
