There and Back Again

March 31, 2010
Getting ready to fly back to Calgary. This time I got some magnetic travel games for the kids, namely Checkers and Hangman. They were $5 from Target.

I got some new apps installed on my IPhone for the plane, I have a book and earphones for my IPhone ready in a bag. I got some candy treats also!

I have small bags of stuff to keep with me on the plane so I can grab them from my carryon easily.

A look back. Having the small bags worked perfectly, it made things quicker and easier. Things definitely improved over the flight to Houston.

Things to do in Houston

We did quite a few cool things in Houston so far. The Houston Zoo was really cool. A lot of animals and birds that we dont' have in Calgary.

There is just something really amusing about an Orangutan with a towel on its head.

We also visited the Downtown Aquarium. They had loads of amazing fish. In addition they had alligators, ray fish and sharks. There were also 2 white tigers plus they had a few rides for the kids.

We ate at the restaurant there which turned out to be really good. The food was tasty and they had a huge aquarium with fish, sharks and ray fish. It was really impressive.
