Texas:  Houston, Corpus Christie, & San Antonio

Hooray.  Family has come.  My mom, dad, sister and brother-in-law arrived. 

Vern, Tomas, Cathy, Nancy, Dale, Toria, Carmen & Todd on a very windy day in Corpus Christie.

We only had a couple of days in Houston so we didn't get too much time to sight-see although we did make it to Johnson Space Center where NASA has both their  mission control center and where they train the astronauts.

Our next stop was our last stop along the beach - we stayed in Port Aransas (near Corpus Christie).  It was a nice place although a little windy.  They have this great beach  - it's like 60 miles long and you can drive on it.  Some people even take their fancy trailers and spend a few weeks living on the sand!  It was so cool.

We're currently in San Antonio where we've visited the Alamo, the Riverwalk, El Mercado (Mexican Market) and, of course, had a good ol' Texas B-B-Q!

This is NASA's mock-up of the Canada-Arm where it trains the astronauts (today was Saturday so no astronauts were working).

USS Lexington - WWII aircraft carrier on display in Corpus Christie.

Todd shows the doolie truck on the beach.

The Alamo - we saw Davy Crockett's vest.... "...king of the wild frontier..."

Mission San Jose in San Antonio.

The gorgeous and tranquil Riverwalk in San Antonio.
