Houston Aquarium

Well another crappy weather day in Texas. Rainy Windy and Chilly not even hitting 50 today.
Sat around all morning trying to decide what to do. Finally decided on the Aquarium, indoors and warm.  After getting everybody ready we headed out about 12. Took over an hr to get there.
So glad Anna figured out the picture thing.
The aquarium was really nice. we could have got a pass to see the Aquarium, Stingray Reef and the rides which the boys would have enjoed but the weather wasn't cooperating again. So we skipped the rides. The Sting Ray Reef was really cool. Got to touch them and Bill bought some food to feed them

It was really awesome. At one point the damn things decided to splash and guess who was standing there? Me of course. Got soaked. Had a good laugh.
On to the Aquarium. Really nice.


Not as big as the one in Niagara Falls but lots to see. At the end there is White Tiger exhibit.

The boys really enjoyed that. We learned all about them just by asking one question. They told us everything you wanted to know about White Tigers. Interesting.
Back out to the misty foggy day. To bad because we really couldn't see much of the City of Houston.
Not much else we can do today so decided on an early dinner seein as we didn't have lunch. Decided on Cracker Barrel cause the three picky eaters like it there. Good choice  Never been there for anything but breakfast. 
Off to Walmart AGAIN. Had to pick up an air pump for the mattress we bought the day before and some food essentials. In and out real quick cause Anna and the boys decided to stay in the car so we didn't have to go to the toy dept. LOL
Back to the camper about 6. relaxed played a couple of games with Jaxx then Billy  Anaa and I played Skip bo. Bed around 11. Didn't get alot of sleep it got windy and the awning kept making a  huge noise. Bill said it wasn't possible but it happened til about 1am.
That was our adventure for today.
Have a great day.

Rainy Morning Oulet Mall

Well Friday started out rainy but turned into a nice afternoon. After breakfast we went to the campground store. This is another really nice campground. We enjoy it here every year. Really nice clubhouse. Three different sitting rooms with Tvs. Lot of books to trade and read. Play areas and a craft area for the kids. Pool is huge. Not open yet but we enjoyed it when Billy Anna and the kid were with us a couple of years ago. Diane and I decide it was a good day to leave the hubbies behind and go shopping. We've been wanting to do this for a while. Had a great time. Spent some money. LOL All on the grandkids of course and nothing for ourselves. Had lunch at subway. All in all it was a good shopping day. Back to the camper to rest for a bit and have dinner. Decided against a fire again tonight so played some Mexican Train. Diane can't get enough of it and they're leaving on Sunday so this might be the last game for awhile. I won one game and Larry won the ot...

Florida here we come

Tuesday was a nothing day. Went to the store to pick up a few things for dinner,and the post office to mail the parking ticket. Had a nice Steak Dinner and got ready to move on. Wendesday was finally getting to Florida to see my big brothers and sister in laws. Went through Mississippi, Alabama then finally into Florida. It was a little bit longer drive then we like but couldn't really find any place to stay for the night. It was a very interesting drive through the panhabdle seein a lot of damage from Hurricane Michael. I'd much rather have a snow storm. The damage was unreal. Unfortunetly I didn't have my phone ready for pictures for the houses down and the rest area. The campground we wanted to go to was closed til at least Sept. because of the Hurricane. It was a nice travel day. First time since we left that I didn't have shoes and socks on. If you know me you know how much I love my flip flops. I think finally for our last month of traveling...

We had a great day yesterday. Weather was good. Chilly but the sun was shining. Left for Old Town San Diego about 10:00. Takes a little over an hr. Nice sunny drive. Went to the Visitor Center first very informative guy thats from the Bronx. Told us hes been to buffal and loved the wings of course. Then off to the train Museum. What a great place. wish I could post pics. Someday I'll figure it out. Anyway it was great to see the way it is all set up. Mountains all around, a baseball diamond with red white and blue fire works a drive in theater showing The Blob. Could have watched the whole movie if I wanted to. It was Steve McQeen's first movie. I remember seeing it long ago. All in all it was great place. Basically just walked down the street went into some of the stores and of course bought stuff I don't need. Went to the Whaley House. Diane and I took the $8 tour. Suppose to be the most famous haunted house in America. But I think all the haunted places say that. ...
