Look at the joy on those faces. Isn't it one of the best things you've seen today. I know it's one of the best things I've felt. What is better? Meet Stacy. She's my saucy mama. Today we went out for lunch at Ninfa's (which we had a very difficult time finding and I think that we drove around in a circle before we actually happened upon it). After lunch we went to visit Guy at PPBC sat and talked for maybe an hour. On the way back into town I took this picture of the skyline.
And while we were in the Museum of Natural Science I took this picture.
So let me tell you about the MoNS. It completely exceeded my expectations. I saw fossils and dinosaurs. I walked through the galleries for chemistry and energy. There was a lot of information on the drilling of oil, or "Texas tea" as it's called. Stacy and I rode in a simulated geovator. We saw an awesome pendulum that was knocking down wooden blocks. And with fifteen minutes left before the museum closed we walked through the gem vault and the hall of minerals.
I've never really appreciated science. Being of the artsy fartsy variety I have greatly neglected becoming acquainted with the sciences. But today some of the science I saw was just as awesome as art. Maybe more awesome. Those gems and minerals. The periodic elements. The malacology.
Anyway what was better than appreciating science was the fun I had with Stacy. It never fails that we have a great time when I'm in town and I can always talk to her about what's on my mind without fear of judgement or misunderstanding. She's going to be a great social worker, like some other people I know.
So far this has been my favorite part of being in Houston spending time with Stacy (and Guy and Sylvia). And the fact that there will be more times, that's the icing on the cake.
