houston, tx

the ctiy of houston has many wonderful treasures,
to please residents and visitors they go to great measures.
for example, by the galleria you'll find the williams water wall,
where 11,000 gallons spill each minute to create this waterfall.
lord of the rings fans may visit the hobbit cafe to eat,
paying homage to all things tolkien as well as tasty treats.
if vegetarian hobbit fare is not what you seek,
try some southern barbeque with cousins hip and sheek.
houston has much to offer - great food, family, friends, shopping and fun,
who will keep you happily occupied until your visit is done.

it's a really big water wall

matt's favorite stop on our trip

bbq dinner with the steed family

galveston, tx

when we arrived in texas to the beach we went,

a sunny morning and afternoon in galveston was spent.

we settled on the beach and matt left to take a dip

i soon joined him for what would be a quick trip,

suddenly out of the blue by a jelly fish i was stung,

and instantly onto matt's neck and body i hung.

after carrying me out of the water and nursing the sting,

i was ready to hop, skip, jump and sing.

we ate our picnic lunches and then went downtown,

for the finest ice cream sodas and sundaes around.
