TX Trip day 2

So our 2nd day in TX we went to NASA. Austin and Colby have been excited about this for awhile. We woke up pretty early to head out there when they opened. The kids ate breakfast in the car on the way out there. It was about a 45 min drive so they were able to eat and take in the sights of  Houston. We got there around 9:30. We went in and walked straight to the TRAM tour. We were going to do the more "kid friendly" version but a huge group of camp kids were going to be on that one so we opted for the other. We got to see the old Mission Control room and see Rocket Park. The kids enjoyed the sights I think. The whole tour took about an hour or more so by the time we got back it was time for them to eat lunch. We enjoyed a little lunch in the Food Court before continuing our tour. We walked around and enjoyed seeing the different space things. Colby did get upset b/c he was too young to do most of the space experiment type things. It was fun just checking everything out though and Lindsay was quite the trooper with all of this. We did buy them a couple souvenirs which they were excited about! After that we saw a movie/presentation then it was time to head back to the hotel. On the ride back Lindsay got in a little nap which was helpful. We got back to the hotel to rest and cool off. It was nice being able to take our time and go at our own speed.
After cleaning up we went to eat at Chuy's. We were told about this place and it definitely lived up to its reputation! It was soo yummy! After dinner we went back to the hotel for a swim. It was so nice having the empty pool to ourselves in the evenings to play and hang out with the kids! I know they loved swimming and I think it made bedtime a little easier in the evenings!
