Miles Traveled: ZeroApril 20, 2008
Well--we aimed high...but fell short...because Grace woke up, wondered what time it was, looked on our computer (which was still on California time) which said it was 6:45am--which meant it was 8:45am Texas time. Kathy just grinned and giggled when we came into the kitchen much later than we had targeted. Kat drove us all to Houston...apparently the scenic route ...which translates to...um...we missed a turn. But hey--I don't care how long I lived in Houston--or Texas for that matter--the highways there *are* confusing. We got to the Museum and toured the Pompei Exhibit. What a magnificent exhibit...and very sobering.
Afterwards, we walked around and went to the Sam Houston statue. The whole park area was sooo pretty and it was just wonderful being able to *walk around* after sitting on that bike for hours and hours. While we were walking around, we got very knowledgeable history lesson from Daniel about Sam Houston and the Alamo. This prepared us for when we actually got to go to the Alamo a few days later.
We walked around and made a short visit at the Museum of Science. Outside the building was a huge floating globe/fountain made of marble--which you could easily spin around. I took a picture of the three of them pointing to Sweden--where they will be moving to in a few months.
One of the main things Brian wanted to do while in Texas was to get a steak at the Texas Roadhouse--a place John & Debbie took him (and Kyle) when they were there last year when Brian bought a truck and drove it back home. We went there and had GREAT steak and barbeque ribs...YUMMMM! What a GREAT time we had! Kathy--THANK you!!!
