So anyway, on the Tuesday we were going to check out
Houston Children's Museum before
meeting preternatural for
lunch and then perhaps drive down to Galveston to investigate the beach.
Instead, after we switched hotel rooms so that they could clean the old one,

to the Woodlands Children's Museum, from which I
posted the pictures
the other day. We chose that one on
preternatural's advice
as it was easier to get to without someone to read the map. We spent a fair
while there and got our $10-worth, though
smallclanger wanted mostly
to stay in the big house and play in the kitchen with the plastic food.
After a small detour caused by me taking completely the wrong road out of the complex, we stopped at A&W for a quick lunch (that ended up taking 15 minutes to arrive) and then went back to the hotel.
On Wednesday we didn't have to take the car back until 3.30pm, so the original idea was to leave the hotel quite early and check out the Space Center or, failing that, the Children's Museum. In the event we left late and went in search of a craft store and then some exotic fruit drinks (brought to us on roller skates) before making our way to the airport.
So we walked around the terminal area and sat around for a bit, then got
on a plane for eight hours. As bopeepsheep
My attempt to play a DVD for smallclanger was foiled by a
laptop battery that lasted 10 minutes then suddenly went down
to 5% (then lasted another 20 minutes anyway) and another one
that had been charged up before we left Oxford but didn't seem to have
any power left in it. But the flight passed without incident (except
some screaming from a little girl two or three rows back) and we were
picked up at the other end by
