We have been on the go ever since we arrived in Texas over the weekend. On Monday, Jacob, Richie, and I zipped down to Galveston for a few hours. We toured a retired offshore oil rig and then frolicked on the beach. On Tuesday afternoon, the three of us met up with Jim downtown and visited the Houston Aquarium. Despite some iffy reviews, we were pleased to find the aquarium to be fun and entertaining. Besides the marine life exhibits, they also had a talking parrot, four white tigers, and - oddly - rides. We had a great time, stayed for hours, and took advantage of everything that the aquarium had to offer.
The offshore energy center museum in Galveston was both educational and fascinating.
We dipped our toes in the Gulf of Mexico. The air temp was close to 90 and the water temp was around 80. It would have been a lovely day if the gusty winds hadn't continuously blasted us with sand.
The Carnival Ecstasy was in port on Monday.
We were able to watch the caretakers feed lots of the creatures at the aquarium.
We all touched some baby stingrays. They felt like velvet.
Jacob did his best to appear frightened.
