Houston Zoo
This little guy was a hoot! Pucker up, baby!

The view from our balcony...not too shabby!We made a quick trip to Texas this week, as Steve was doing business there again. This is the first time we've joined him on a work trip, and the first time we three girls have flown! Wow, what an experience. The plane had mechanical problems, which delayed our flight by 7 hours. We were up at 4 am, at MBS by 5:00, then headed back home at 5:15. We returned to the airport at noon and took off at 1:00. I became incredibly airsick almost immediately, and Serena joined me in the last half hour. Ugh! So, we arrived much later than we planned, which ruined our family free day altogether! I spent it in the hotel, trying to recover. Steve and the girls walked to Landry's for seafood. Steve had to work on Wednesday morning, so the girls and I spent the morning at the beautiful pool. We didn't realize how strong the sun was and came back with sunburns. All of Texas laughed at us, for sure. We stayed in a beautiful hotel on the gulf of Mexico at Galveston, which provided a ton of walk-to activities. We took in the Rainforest Cafe for lunch, and spent time picking shells at the beach and swimming in the ocean. I took pictures, of course. We met up with friends, Ken and Norma Leung, who recently moved to Houston, and had a great Mexican dinner at Pappasitos Cantina. It was wonderful to see them, the food was great, and they had a mariachi band playing at the tables. The girls loved it all. Traffic in Houston was crazy! Steve had a cockroach land on his shoulder as we were leaving our friends. He screamed like a girl. No, wait, that was me! We went to the Houston zoo as well, and it was nice. Very "jungle-like". Of course, it was 90 and humid, so it felt like a jungle everywhere. We got to see Dow Chemical headquarters ,which was huge and technical looking.
The plane ride home was much smoother, as Serena and I took our dramamine early. It was a short trip, but we made the most of the time we had. We came home tired, and are still trying to get back on our feet. I haven't been feeling the greatest, but I don't travel well anyway!
We had a great time!

Sounds like you all had a good time over all. Sorry about your air sickness. Yes we hear the sun is hotter in the south and you do burn easier. My brothers have experienced this too. God bless and it is good to have you back in Michigan. Love, Theresa
