It seems my youngest brother accepted a new job in San Antonio, and he and wife Marion are relocating from Chicago. They were due to arrive in San Antonio the day I'm scheduled to leave Houston, so we figured it would next year till we saw each other.
Well, we had a flat tire near the Space Center in Houston, and I posted that on Facebook. Up pops Marion to say they had to have a new Alternator put on their car and they were currently AT the Space Center! What a happy surprise! So we spent the next day and a half with them, exploring Houston and sharing meals!
Doug, Marion and I went off to the Downtown Aquarium (small but nicely done, including the white tigers), and the Museum of Health & Medical Science (featuring larger than life walk through human anatomy) across from the Roses in the Houston Garden Center.
Meanwhile, Bernie went in search of the Cowboys and Wagon trains coming into town for the Annual Rodeo, but only found where they'll be this weekend.
But he also enjoyed some other downtown sights, including Sam Houston Park and the excellent rapid transit system here.
After another shared dinner,we bid our family "so long, till next year" and headed down the road closer to Galveston.
