We just needed a day to relax, spend some time together, and just have fun.
So bright and early on Tuesday we left our house....seriously early.....like 8am early. We had to drop off some stuff at the Grant Rd. store and than we had the privilege of attending another protest hearing.
After we successfully reduced our property tax renditiion by $10,000 (hallelujah), we stopped at Denny's for a quick breakfast and a chance to discuss what we wanted to do that day.
The easy part of the decision was that whatever we did -- it would be done INDOORS! The temperature outside was a cool 40 degrees with a chilly breeze blowing.
So off to the Houston Museum of Natural Science we went. One of our most favorite places to go. Their special exhibit this time was on the Civil War. Hooray.....that's our most favorite thing we are learning about right now. We really want to go to some Civil War Muesums and visit famous Civil War sites.
After spending about 2 hours looking at the exhibit (I really learned alot!), it was off to the IMAX movie at the Museum. Watched a 3D movie about dinosaurs of the ocean. Good fun -- not so great taking a picture of the both of us with my cell phone.
Well after spending a few hours at the Museum it was time for lunch (late lunch). Since we were on the opposite side of town -- we decided to stop in at one of our favorite healthy food restaurants. Today's choice was the Hobbit Cafe. Seriously, a difficult restaurant to find -- we always have trouble, but the food is really delicious.
Paul got a small sandwich loaded with Guacamole and other veggies and I opted for the Spinach/Mushroom/Pepper Jack Quesdadilla. Yummy! Look Mom......I'm eating spinach and Mushrooms!
The end of the day was spent at a trivia game and another fun night out.
We came home exhausted, but we feel a little recharged. Yay for days off!
