It's been way to long since we have made a trip to Houston. We decided New Year's was a prefect time to hang out with The Speyerer's. We drove in the Wednesday before New Year's and got a very early start. We were in Texas for noon. We planned a night just the three of us and were meeting up with Rachel on Thursday and staying thru Sunday.
Our first stop into town was The Houston Center Green Gardens. These greens are right by Minute Maid Stadium and the Art Installations change a few times a year. You know us... suckers for Art.
This exhibit was pretty cool. The round things are concave pieces of stone and there is one at the other end about 40 yards apart. If you sit in one and another person sits in the other, you can whisper and the other person can hear what you are saying perfectly. It's amazing and was developed and built by a sound engineer. Fun stuff.
We left Discovery Green Park and went to Highland Village to do some shopping. Of course there was a visit to the Sprinkles ATM, as the line to get in was 20 people deep.
And then we went to The Galleria. Spent most of our time standing in lines, as it was extremely crowded. Emerson and Denny had a great time ice skating.
Almost busted it...
After a good night sleep, we met The Speyerer's at The Houston Zoo.
