Our Day Trip to Moody Gardens

Scott, Liz and I went to Galveston Island for a quick trip to Moody Gardens. It is a great place to take kids!

We started off going for an hour long ride on a paddle wheel boat called The Colonel. The breeze off the water made for a very pleasant ride, despite the 98 degree temperature. Scott snapped this picture of a seagull taking a bit of popcorn out of my hand mid-flight. This picture is taken facing east, so if you look really hard in the background you can see Mr. L. Iguana drinking a beer.



We snapped this picture on the way down to the island. Houston has a plethora of strip clubs, one of the more well-advertised clubs is Heartbreakers on I-45 between Houston and Galveston. Here is a picture of the sign outside the club, along with a bit of Bible Belt commentary on the billboard next door.

This is such a country of contradictions, but aren't we lucky to be able to express ourselves?!!!

For a lot of religious people it's the guilt that makes it sexy.
I just enjoy the nudity.

Heartbreakers has been there for at least 10 years with the same sign. The billboard is pretty new, I have a feeling its placement was not accidental.

This is so great!

I just downloaded some photos on my blog from my son's trip, and one of them is a bird too. They are totally cool to photograph.

I would love the sign on the stip club to read, 'The Bush stops Here.'

The Mr L Iguana thang went right over my head.

Good pic of the birds though.
