Visiting Houston Texas

On March 29th we went to Houston, Texas.  After a long day of driving, we stayed in a Residence Inn.  The people below us didn't want ANY noise so it was a long night.  We did eat some delicious food at an italian restaurant called Russo's New York Pizzeria.  Not only were the pizzas very yummy, but we had great salads and desserts that melted in all of our mouths.  After dinner, laundry was a priority so our evening activities consisted of folding laundry and watching The Little Engine that Could on the IPAD.  It was an adventure.

Then Saturday, March 30th we stopped for a quick visit with Dave's Uncle.  Then we traveled by ferry across the Houston Ship Channel.  David could find the parking brake when we were about to leave the ferry so it was a rather funny experience searching for the parking brake with cars waiting behind us.  The Battleship Texas was incredible.  We all enjoyed the experience of touring the very large ship.  Of course, the history was fascinating, but the knowledge that we were on a ship that many relatives had also traveled on was rather emotional.  Some in our family were terrified of the closed spaces under the ship while others had difficulty with the heights and wind at the top of the ship.  It truly was an adventure.
