Baseball and Seafood

We came to Houston to watch the Texas Longhorns play baseball in Minute Maid Park. They Played the Rice Owls tonight. The Horns had their first really good offensive night and won 11-7. It was a great game. The Owls were 9-0 for the season.

To read all about it, visit Joanna's Longhorn Baseball Page. http://www.joanna.org/hook-em/


The Horns play the Tennessee Volunteers tomorrow. Hook 'em!

We ate lunch/dinner at the Aquarium. It was a surprise to find a fine restaurant there. Excellent seafood. Turns out the restaurant is run by Landry's. So .......

The Aquarium has a huge tank in the middle of the restaurant. See for yourself. (Photo taken with my iPad - not too bad!)

Hi, Bag Blog, thanks. I'm a bit tech-challenged on this iPad, but I am learning. I couldn't make the link to Joanna's page on the Blogger App and didn't try the other app I have. Little by little. :)

Bag Blog, I meant to say the restaurant and fish tanks are amazing. 150,000 gallons in one and one up the stair well is 55 feet tall or some such. You need to go when you are in Houston. It is close when you get off I45 downtown.

Love Landry's. The closest one I know about is on the River Walk in San Antonio. Yummy.

Nice photos.

Joanna, we sure like Landry's, too. In Albuquerque, as I mentioned to you, it is right across the freeway from Papadeaux and is so nice and quiet, you can have a conversation!
