We've been pretty busy here these last few weeks. We've had the opportunity to "discover" Houston and what it has to offer.
Mark and I went to a Houston Astros baseball game. For me, it wasn't quite the same experience I have at the Rockies games... They close the dome on top of the stadium because it's so hot outside, but even with the AC inside it's still muggy and smells like sweat... I was not that impressed. I'd much rather go see the Rockies play and catch a little sun at the same time : )
My sister, Amanda, came down to stay with us for a week! We loved the time she was able to spend with us! The first day she was here, she and I toured an ice cream factory! Blue Bell Creameries has some of the best ice cream I have ever had and it's sold all over Texas (and some other states close by). The tour was very interesting and informative. We got to see how they mix up the ice cream and put it into the tubs, how they make ice cream bars and popsicles and how they add the different ingredients to the ice cream like fresh strawberries and nuts. The tour even included a free dish of ice cream at the end! It was one of the best places we went.
We also got to go to the Health Museum and the Downtown Aquarium. Both were fun but I left them wanting to see MORE! Amanda and I had fun taking pictures inside the big mouth at the Health Museum and a favorite at the Downtown Aquarium were the spotted sting rays and the octopus (sorry the picture is not very good).
