Before Nancy headed back to Michigan, we played tourist at some more Texas attractions. Jacob and I brought both Nancy and Jim out to Galveston one afternoon to revisit the Ocean Star offshore oil platform museum. It is such an intriguing place! Another day, we went to check out the Houston Galleria because I had heard lots of hype about it, but had no idea what was there. It turns out that the Galleria is a very huge, really upscale, and mostly unaffordable shopping mall, alongside office buildings and hotels. On Friday, we didn't venture far from the house because the weather was beautiful and we wanted to enjoy the 81 degree temperatures. We basked in the sun, ate lunch outside, and swam. By the way, the one bunch of bananas that was growing on our tree ripened last week, then quickly rotted. We peeled one and were surprised to find that it actually looked and smelled like a banana inside. I'm sorry to say that no one volunteered to be a guinea pig and taste it. Maybe next year!
Jacob and Nancy jumped into the hot tub on Friday afternoon.
