The next day, Jon served up a delicious brisket that he had smoked all night. He was a little critical of it, but from a layman's perspective, it was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a while.I think I had three servings for lunch, which wasn't a great idea since shortly thereafter, we went to the Kemah Boardwalk, a popular Houston tourist attraction.
Here's Lucas posing with the gorgeous piece of meat.
We didn't get too photo crazy at the boardwalk so there isn't too much to see. Lucas and Marilu rode the ferris wheel while I wandered around. Their wait in line was around 45 minutes.
Picture of us out front. Ugh, I need to lose about 50 pounds.
This last pair of photos is kind of nifty. The first is from our most recent visit. The second is from when Marilu and I visited Houston for the first time back in 2004 (or maybe 2005?). We tried to stand in the same general area.Time has not been kind to yours truly!
This is a look at downtown Houston as we headed to the airport the next day.
And finally, this was the sight that welcomes us back to the frozen tundra of Ottawa, after a week of shorts and flip-flops.
Luckily, as I write this, it appears the cold weather is gone for until fall. But man, that was a crappy way to come back from vacation.
And thus, the Houston trip is over. I really need to organize my photos since they are a complete mess now, strewn across several folders and phones. Just the headache of figuring out where everything is has been the biggest obstacle to posting new stuff so bear with me as I try to make order of the chaos.
I think the next pictures I put up will be from our Easter trip down to Massachusetts since I think they are still on my phone so keep an eye out for those in the coming week. Until then, see ya!

Enjoyed each and every picture from your trip. I know it sometimes gets tiresome to keep up your blogspot, but it's really appreciated. By the way, you're not the only one who has some pounds to drop. Welcome to my world. 😜
