The fam. and I recently returned from our trip to Houston, TX. First off, thank you to Becca and J for putting us up (and putting up with us). What an awesome trip! While all our friends were suffering in 35 degree MN.We took a day and visited San Antonio. While there we went to Sea World, The Riverwalk and did a drive-by of the Alamo. Sea World was a great experience - much like a top-notch version of the MN Zoo mixed with Valley Fair. Shamu is F'n huge! The Alamo was exactly as I remembered it 11 years ago...disappointing. It's in the middle of downtown S.A. and you can barely visual that the little shack in front of you is a great piece of American and Mexican history. The River Walk was cool again, but there's not much for kids to do so maybe the adults will have to go back and get a hotel room overlooking the River Walk and party it up.
On Saturday it was supposed to rain, but we took our chances and went to the beach. It ended up being a beautiful day! We had beers in Kemah at the boardwalk and went to Galveston and put our feet in the ocean. Later we went to a cool restaurant called Ichibon's - go if you ever get the chance. I'm not big on fish, but they had plenty of options.
It's a great place to visit and I've always wanted to live there...who knows...?
