Weekend in Houston

Nothing could have been more fun than spending a long weekend in Houston with Mike and Maria. We arrived on Friday night and proceeded to have two wonderful days with them. On Saturday we went to the Space Center; Jackson really enjoyed the slide area and seeing the "guy hanging out of the rocket" (a life sized model of an astronaut doing a space walk).


After the museum, we headed over to Kemah, which has a little boardwalk area with restaurants and other assorted entertainment venues. We were able to avoid the playground area...thank goodness since it was 95+ degrees and very humid...and only had to do one round on the carousel. Not that I don't love my kid, but it was too HOT and HUMID to hang very long on the boardwalk.
Our lazy Sunday was spent sitting around, talking, attending church, playing a little catch and of course, what trip wouldn't be complete without a little money hunt! Mike had to take apart their dryer and in the process found a lot of loose change hanging out in it. So, Uncle Mike took Jackson out to the garage for a money hunt. The hunt then had to make its way into the house where Jackson spent the next 30 minutes or so looking in every crack and crevice in the house with his little flashlight. It was really cute, but Mike created a money monster who wouldn't put the flashlight down. Jackson is still talking about it!
