Weekend in Houston

We just got back from Houston last night. I went to try out for Jeopardy. It was a fun weekend. The Courtyard hotel had a pool and jacuzzi. Brooke practiced swimming in the pool (it was freezing!!) and Karen enjoyed the jacuzzi (I did too). Paige would run back and forth between the pool and jacuzzi. She did not like the cold water in the pool or the hot water in the jacuzzi.

On Sunday, we spent a few hours at a kids fair at Sam Houston Park. We left there and continued to drive around downtown. While sitting at a red light, a guy offered us free tickets to the Astros game. We took the tickets and walked in during the fourth inning. Brooke and Paige had a blast. Karen and I enjoyed watching the girls. The Astros were already losing 7-0 against Kansas City, so we weren't really interested in the game. By the end of the game, the Astros came back to lose 9-6, Brooke and Paige got balloon animals, and we were all ready to go back to the hotel (jacuzzi).

Sunday night, we went to a steakhouse called The Saltgrass. It was wonderful. On Monday, Karen took the girls to the Galleria Mall, and I went to try out for Jeopardy. I was one answer away from getting to the next phase. Oh well. You won't see me on Jeopardy, but I sure had a great time with the family. Pictures will follow a little later.
