Beth's Annual Trip to Texas

How I love my visits to Keith and Candice's home!!! I had the chance to visit them when they lived in San Diego, California and then in Pueblo, Colorado. This is my third visit to Kingwood, Texas to see them and every time is FABULOUS!! Why is it so wonderful?.....Well, I had to think about that for a while and, with Katie's help, have the answer. Keith and Candice are what make it so great!! Their kindness, hospitality and genuineness make a visit to their place relaxing and restorative. I am already counting the months until my next trip!!! Thank you, thank you, Keith and Candice and Remi, too!!! Here are some highlights of the trip.....
A visit to Nasa was educational and fun!! This was a demonstration of how astronauts live in the International Space Station. The toilet demo was very interesting!!!!

This rocket was mammoth!!! We even got to visit Mission Control! Very fun place to be!
A drive through the Texas countryside was AWESOME!! The ghost town of Independence made for a few good pics.
Loved this old time gas station!
The Sano family at the ruins of the old Baylor School for Girls build in late 1800's. It was a cold and wet almost everyday I was there. Got down in the 30's for a little bit. Burrrr!
Candice and Remington pose near one of the 500+ cows at the Cattle and Livestock Show which is part of the month-long Houston Rodeo. There were sheep and goats. Milking displays, birthing displays, etc. The proceeds go into a youth scholarship fund. Top cow was sold for $300,000!!! They know how to do it up big in Texas!!!

Keith, Candice and Remington at the petting zoo.
Not a very good picture.... but the terrific rodeo was followed by a great Brad Paisley concert! Yeee-haw!!!! I love Texas!!!
