So we decided to take the afternoon to ourselves. And what better to do then go see the bay. Now, for a number of you, the days are slowly getting colder (we're jealous, by the way), but here in Southern Texas the days are still warm (when we say warm we mean in the 90's). So, with the afternoon off, we decided to drive down to Kemah, Texas.
Kemah lies right on the edge of Galveston Bay. For those of you who don't know, Galveston Bay is rather unique since it is both fresh water (the San Jacinto and Trinity River, plus the ship channel via the Buffalo Bayou) and salt water (the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean). The Bay has some of the best shrimp in the US, and at the right time of year, one can see dolphins swimming out front of boat.
Well, a number of years back, someone decided to renovate Kemah and create a boardwalk; complete with Amusement rides, restaurants, shops and plenty of seagulls. We spent a quite afternoon enjoying the ships as they came in from the bay, pelicans flying to and fro, and little kids playing in the water fountain (yes, Brian jumped in as well). We had dinner at a small Mexican restaurant on the bay (which we barely ate any of...the portions were huge) and then headed home, but not before stopping by NASA. We didn't have time to visit Johnson Space Center but we saw it from our car. There's always next time.
Enjoy the photos!

Looks like a fun place to hang out! we'll have to check it out some day...and since it doesn't get real cold, some day in December could work! HA! We're going to the beach on Sunday...so excited are we!!!
I know how you feel about the heat. In Hanoi we are still in the 90's, with humidity at about 90-95%.
Peace,

What a FUN day! And the two of you look so great. Brian was full of energy at the meeting - and obviously loves talking about you and the Baby (and WE loved listening!) It was good to see him, but he needs to bring you and Baby with next time!
