Sorry about the Spanish numbers — we have seen so many restaurant names and road signs in Spanish, it’s hard not to get your mind stuck in Espanol mode. The gulf is a multi-cultural place. Breakfast today was served by a Chinese guy with a thick Spanish accent selling kolaches. Dos doughnuts, por favor!<\/p>\n

Today’s adventure took us north (relatively speaking), to the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Mason is really into outer space things right now, so he was in love — and, as a guy who used to love outer space things as a kid, I thought it was pretty neat, too. There were tons of interactive activities and shows for kids of all ages, and one price basically covered everything. Mason crashed the Space Shuttle several times in their landing flight simulator, and Morgan tried her tiny hands at docking with a satellite.<\/p>\n

By printing out our tickets online, we got in for half price — $21 for the four of us. In comparison, lunch for the three of us (Morgan shared with Mommy) was close to $50 for some nachos, a bowl of chili, a piece of pizza, a couple of drinks and a couple of candy bars.<\/p>\n

After a long day at the space center and a short nap, it was back to the beach. To be honest we’re getting a little tired of the beach, but we’re here at the ocean, and it’s free, so we’re making ourselves go. Note Mason’s NASA helmet. He’s been wearing it a lot this afternoon. <\/p>\n

We headed back into town this weekend looking for a small Mexican place but settled on a small pizza place instead. We came home, watched a little television, cooked some s’mores, and went to bed. Like the other days, I took a ton more pictures than I’m currently posting (I took almost 100 today). When I return to civilization and get a faster Internet connection, I’m going to post the entire gallery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
