I was so lucky to get to go to Texas this last weekend with my mom. We went to see my sister for her birthday. Happy Birthday Amy!!! We had the best time. Just sightseeing and visiting some cool places. The weather was GREAT the first day, like 85.. but then a cold front moved in, I can't really complain it was still about 60- It was snowing here so its OK. Amy lives in a really cool city close to Houston and Galveston. We were able to see some of the Hurricane Ike devastation, lots of places are still just boarded up and lots of debris everywhere. So many people still have blue tarps on their roofs and its been 5 months since it happened.
Amy and I at the Alamo. I learned a lot about Texas and American history. I really had forgotten what happened at the Alamo. Very interesting stuff!
Me, Mom and Amy at the Alamo
River Walk in San Antonio. This place is so pretty. Its basically right by the Alamo and its just this really cool place with shops and restaurants. We got to take a boat ride down the river everything. This day it was like 85 so it was so nice.

NASA space center. "Houston we have a problem!". It was really neat to see the actual space control center where all of the US spacecraft is monitored.
This is just 1 of 5 engines on an old space rocket. This thing was huge! It took up an entire building the size of a football field.
The Aquarium in Galveston. Underwater viewing.
This giant turtle was really cool
