Spring Break in Houston

We headed to Houston on Sunday night.  We left Hamilton at 5:30pm.  We got to Houston to get in line at 10:30pm.  I've never seen anything like it.  So many pickup and trailers!  And portipotties!  We sat in line all night. (Whose bright idea was THAT?!?)  The kids made do in the back of the pickup but with 4 of us, there wasn't much room to spread out.  We finally started moving at about 6:30am Monday morn.  We got unloaded and checked into our hotel at 10:45am.  Whew!  What a night...I don't intend to try that again.  Houston is only 4 hours from our house now.  I'll be driving next time. ;)

 

 Our plan to eat lots of seafood.  First stop...Pappadeaux!

 The kids did lots of swimming at our hotel pool.  They swam so much the pads of their fingers and toes were rubbed off!

 

 

 Just like at any stock show...there is a lot of down time in the show barn.  These two made the best of it. 

  Karson showed the heck out of that steer.  But we weren't what the judge was looking for.  Still looked small compared to the others. 

 After Karson showed, and the steer was on the truck it was time to have some fun.  Lanny drove us to Galveston for the afternoon.  We ate some AWESOME seafood at Fish Tales and then went across the street to Pleasure Pier.  The kids rode some rides...lots of smiles!

 Of course we had to walk on the beach...Boo was the only one who got in.  She thought it was pretty cool and was wishing for her swimsuit.

 On the way home from Houston we made our usual stop at Buc-ee's for some yummy snacks...especially the beef jerky, and to use the amazing bathrooms!  Perfect end to a fun trip. :)
