Finishing up the Trip in Style.......

After the conference was over I took the chance to hang out with one of my childhood friends Jared Williams who now lives in Texas. Him and his wife took me out for a dinner at Gringo's, one of the best Mexican Restaurants I have ever been in, of course I ate what he requested.....seafood enchiladas, some of the best food I have ever eaten. We finished up the night playing Cornhole in the street in front of his house. Believe it or not many of his people and many of the people in the south have never seen the game of Cornhole....if they only knew what they were missing. Have a good 1!

Houston....We have a problem.....

Looks like the National Middle School Conference has come to an end, For all those that want to check it out NASA is located in Houston, a link is provided to the right if anyone is interested! Have a good 1!

90 MPH ESCALATOR..........

I went to a couple of different sessions today, one was about service learning projects! This is what I am wanting to get organized (a service learning project) with my social studies classes to get a new flag and flag pole put up at the African American Cemetery behind Wendy's. Also found out why all the news trucks and ambulances were at the conference yesterday, evidently one of the escalators (about two stories high) started going about 90 MPH while it was full of people, of course many people were injured. Luckily I was already out of the place, I am sure it wouldn't have felt good if I landed on someone! We have one more day of the conference, tomorrow I will be checking out of the hotel and going to stay with my friend and his wife that live in Houston, should have many more great pictures. Hope all is well back home! Have a good 1!

Another Sunny Day in Texas!

Here is another pic of the Houston Skyline.
The Texas State Flag (kind of hard to see with no wind)
We all ate Dinner at Pappas, they had a baked potato as big as my head.....no comments from the peanut gallery on that one!

Backstage at Minute Maid Park

This was in the Diamond Club, Nolan Ryan threw Seven no hitters (no Cy Young), Roger Clemons had seven Cy Young's (no No Hitters)
This is a pic from a luxury box at Minute Maid Park, Box costs 5,000 a game (that doesn't even include food for your guests!)

Houston at Night

As you can see...downtown Houston is no Hong Kong, but is still quite a big city, still haven't figured out how to take pictures with my camera at night. Everything looks so blurry, the Skyline in Houston is no bigger than what we see in Cincy.
