Today saw us traveling to Rice University which is only about 5 miles from Adam's place. We really didn't see the University but walked Rice Village - blocks of little boutiques, cafes, international food restaurants, fun shops. The area was beautiful; trees on each side of the road forming a lovely canopy. Most of the streets were "canopied. " It was pretty cold and overcast. We had sleet and snow this morning which didn't last.
3 miles from Rice was the Houston Museum of Natural Science. There was free admission on Thursdays from 2-5 only so we saved ourselves $30.00! What an awesome time! We saw 3 exhibits: Hall of ancient Egypt, Butterfly Center (really cool - thousands of butterflies flitting about, plus neat tutorial of insects. I know! Who'd have imagined it would be so interesting! ) and the Hall of Paleontology. That was the best, seeing life size dinosaurs and being awed. There was also a little exhibit of Petrified wood which I find fascinating.
It was a good day and then we had an enjoyable evening with Adam. Here's to warmer temps tomorrow. :)
