TEXAS

We had the opportunity to go to Texas with my parents and siblings. Originally my younger brother was getting married but that was called off for very good reasons. We all still had our tickets and baby-sitters so we decided to go on the trip anyway. Two couples stayed home, Ben and Chari (they wanted to use their tickets for an anniversary trip later), and Andy and Cheris (their son was too sick to leave). The rest of us arrived in Houston early Thursday and headed to San Antonio. We ate at fun Texas restaurants and had so much fun hanging out with each other. We went to Six Flags Friday, which happened to be Spencer's birthday, and ate at the River Walk at the Iron Cactus. We also stopped to see the Alamo.

On Saturday we went back to Houston and toured Nasa. Since we arrived on Saturday and there were no missions going on, we got to see the Mission Control room. There were so many things to see and do there.

I want to say special thanks to my parents for making this trip happen and so fun! It was the first time in about 7 years that Kevin and I had gone on a trip without children so THANK YOU!And also thanks to Kevin's Mom and Justin and Rachel for baby-sitting our kids. The kids had all sorts of stories to tell about how much fun they had with you.
