"Don't Mess With TEXAS!"

Ok, sooooo I had to make that the title of this blog just to mess with Sammy! =)  Sam and I have a tradition of buying a magnet everytime we visit a new state together,  and while we were in Texas, I thought the "Don't Mess with Texas" magnet would be a good one.  Sam was like Brooke.... we can't get that magnet --I feel like it should be "Don't Mess with Tennessee!"  I thought it was funny, but he let me know I was just jealous that Indiana would never be a state that would have a magnet about people "messing" with it.  Haha, oh the rivalry between the north and south still lives - jokingly, in our household at least. 
But anyways, so... we went to Texas at the beginning of October and had a great time!  We jam packed as much as we could into our four day trip... and the picture above is my ALL TIME FAVORITE picture of me and Brylee.  This was Brylee's first time touching the ocean, and I LOVE this photo.... she just looks so small and little.  Sam says his photography skills were professional in that one.  =)

What to pack.... Brylee watching as I make a mess of her clothes


At the airport in Cincinnatti... Brylee ready for her first plane ride.  Cincy had a direct flight to Houston, which was really nice since we were traveling with a 4 month old =).


Getting ready for take off

And this is how Brylee spent the majority of the flight... the most comfortable passenger on the plane by far!

All of our first times to Texas!


Driving from the airport to downtown Houston


Brylee ready to go see the ocean for the first time


Family picture in Galveston, TX at the ocean... it was freezing that day, we weren't dressed for the weather

Cutest lifeguards I've ever seen =)

Brylee is trying to check for swimmers... daddy isn't


Sam and Brylee at Kemah Boardwalk

My two favorite jailbirds...I believe Brylee was arrested for being TOO CUTE =)

TEXAS

Next stop was NASA space center for the tour of NASA



Mission Control:  "Houston we have a problem"

This is it... the room the astronauts do most of their training

Rockets

After the NASA tour, Sam and I decided to try out some of the things around space camp

Haha, we thought this one was for adults... no, the guy was pretty much like "C'mon little guy you can do it..." like Sam was a 3 year old!

So mad I didn't get this shirt!

Me landing a space ship on the moon....

Sam tried next, and of course he finished faster =)

Sam touring a shuttle

After a busy day, Brylee back at our hotel cuddling with monkey


Best little traveler EVER! =)

Getting ready in the morning... Brylee is checking herself out in the mirror =)


Downtown Houston.... best Mexican fusion food ever!

Brylee got to eat too =)

NBA Rockets game



Who's hand is bigger?  Brylee or Tracy McGrady?

I think his size 16 foot is larger than Brylee's too =)

After the Rockets game.... Brylee and Sammy

Playing before we pack up to head back to Louisville in the morning
