Boots 'n Bluebonnets 'n BlownStars

I got a note from the lovely Miss Nancy about the Saturday portion of this trip:

If we start out early Sat morning, and go down to my work area, and have breakfast (can do it at a healthy organic food store that does a kick ass buffet or a restaurant that does biscuits and sausage), then, you and 'Pup can go and do a quick tour of ...where ever.

Then, we can decide....

What do you want to do? Options include:

1) a quick trip.... (down and back and a quick tour and toe dip) to Galveston, the trip down there would be about a 3 hour round trip.

2) A tour of the museum district and a trip inside the museum of your choice (Fine Arts? Natural History?) We could do a drive thru of downtown, tho no tours avail as in Chicago..alas!

3) Shopping in the Village at University Place.. one of the more eclectic areas of town and in the general area of the original Goode Co BBQ and several OTHER Goode co restaurants and a club

4)...?

Now... PJ and Jim live in the Galveston area, although PJ says she's also frequently in Houston and might be able to catch up with us there. (But, if we went to Galveston, I could perhaps meet Baby Trouble, Rico Loco and the rest of the gang, too...) Jim did mention something about hauling out the hardware and making things go blammo on the shooting range, which would require some lessons for moi. On the other hand, El Cap and Michelle and Walrilla are already in the Houston area, and might have some dandy ideas, as well.

Then there are those of you I haven't heard from yet.

I've never been to Houston. What are the must-sees?

And you are coming, aren't you?

Update: El Capitan says:

If you're going to Galveston, you probably ought to swing by the Johnson Space Center on the way there or back.

As for off-the-wall sights atround town, there's the Beer Can House, the Orange Show, the Art Car Museum, the National Museum of Funeral History, the Downtown Aquarium and, or course, my favorite mystery bookstore, Murder By The Book.

Argh!!! Too. Much. Choice!
