Corpus Christi, TX - Tuesday, July 27, 2010

I want to thank the taxpayers of our country for furnishing me a nice hotel room here in Corpus Christi while my wife is doing some work for our government. This is a pretty little town on the Gulf of Mexico that is loosing population as the industry is not growing. A great place to visit and the weather is nice.

Donna and i had a nice lunch today at the Outback Steakhouse. I enjoyed it better than the dinner at Baja Coast Bar and Grill last night.

Thursday, July 15, 2010 - Ashland Retiree Club

The Harris County Pct 3 first stop will be Brady's Landing Restaurant. The seafood buffet is great and has a large variety. Our next stop is the Houston Sports Museum where the showcase displays autographed baseballs from Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle and other baseball giants. While the museum showcases items from all sports, most of the collection pays homage to the history of baseball in Houston, from the early days of the 1903 Houston Wanderers and the Houston Buffs — once the minor league affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals — to the Colt 45’s and Houston Astros.

At 3 pm, we will visit the Saint Arnold Brewing Company. The weekday tour and tastings begin everyday at 3:00 pm, are $7 and will include a souvenir tasting glass. St Arnold will admit guests between 3:00-3:30 and taps will close shortly after 4:00.

Downtown Aquarium - Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Tuesday will be a fun day on the rides at the Downtown Aquarium for Tammy and the 3 grandsons. Hop aboard the C.P. Huntington train and take a ride through the center of a 200,000-gallon shark tank for an up-close view of a variety of shark species. The Ferris Wheel lets you venture 100 feet in the air and experience spectacular views of the downtown Houston skyline. Ever ridden on the back of a dolphin or an alligator? Kids ride on a aquatic-themed carousel. Calling all thrill seekers! Dare to drop an exhilarating 65 feet while watching the downtown skyline on the Lighthouse Drop!

Donna and I will just enjoy being with the family on a hot and humid day here in Houston.

Silver Eagles Poem

The second Monday of each month is the day we retired guys have wings and beer at Hooters. We go at 1:15 pm to avoid the lunch hour rush. Many are from our subdivision but we also are joined by area friends.
