Another Visit To The Houston Arboretum

We had a very busy weekend.  We won't tell you everything today because we may need something to talk about later in the week.  We need to pace ourselves.  BOL!

We have posted Dad's clue to our next destination on the sidebar.  We will announce the destination at the end of our post.

Mama bought a new blanket at Camping World. She had a coupon and bought it for half price. She thought it was cute and it is about time that she retires a blanket that she has had for 27 years.  Yep, that is right, 27 years.  It is wearing thin.

 

Yesterday, we returned to The Houston Arboretum.  We walked different trails this time and took one that was really fun.  It had hills and was a little more challenging than the flat trails.  Scout didn't think it was as much fun as me, but that's Scout.  It was such a beautiful day.  Flowers are blooming here.

Lantana - Mama loves lantana.

 After we got home, I took a nap while the folks went to lunch.

They were only gone a few hours and we spent the rest of the day together.  It was a great day!

You are all too smart for us.  Our next destination is Denver, CO. We have been told that it does snow in April, but since the average temperature is in the 60's, it usually melts by noon.  We are leaving here at the end of March and will arrive in Denver on April 1st.  It will take us three days to get there.

Dad's In Dallas

Dad left this morning for a business trip to Dallas.  We are not missing him yet because he is normally gone at this time.  We will miss him tonight.  He will come home Thursday night. 

Mama has the car this week, so she has already been out running around.  She went shopping in Missouri City which is ten miles away.  She brought home hot wings, nacho fixings and yes, chips.  She said it is a junk food feast this week.

The folks were really business this weekend.  Dad was off on Friday. They made an offer on the motor home they like, but the guy turned them down.  We will keep looking.

Saturday, the folks when to a ranch with real cowboys!  We will tell you more about that later in the week.

Yesterday, we went on a hike!  We went to the Houston Arboretum which is about ten miles from here.  They have some really nice hiking trails.  We liked them because they are only for walkers and not cyclist or joggers.  The last place we went had a lot of joggers and cyclist and it was a pain getting out of their way the entire time.  The arboretum was not very pretty, but we still had fun.

 There are a lot of boardwalks.

I hear something.

I hear it, too!

 The trails are very well marked.  Dad announced that we could go on the outer trail, but that could be long.  Scout refused to go when she heard that, so Mama had to walk her instead of me.  Mama makes it seem more fun than Dad does, so Scout walks better with Mama.

 Here comes another dog!  We met a few nice dogs yesterday.  There was a man with five dachshunds and they were not nice.  They even started fighting with each other as we passed by them.   It was a little scary.

 There were a lot of trees in pots.  We are not sure if they are digging things up or planting them.

It definitely looks like winter here.  In our resort, we have trees that don't drop their leaves, so it looks very green.  It was kind of depressing to see this.

There is a whole other section of trails we didn't get to yesterday including a boardwalk over a swamp.  We plan on going back soon and completing the rest of the trails.
