ENTERTAINMENT:
ASTROS...
oooooooooo... the best part... So one of my favorite things was the Houston Astros Game... once again a first for a lot of people... it was so much fun because we were one huge blob of people in the stands, yet because the stadium is sooo huge it didn't have a real impact on the audience... We actually had a pretty good view.. a little off to the right and of course really far down was home base... so we really got to see all the action happening.!!!
NASA:
NASA was really cool because we were able to get to experience it as if we were in space. We were able to view air carriers up close and even touch them. Also we were taught the history of the space center and were able to feel the emotions that others felt before us... Our tour guides were amazing they really seemed sincere to their job and showed us through their actions and their words that they really had a passion for their job.. and for space! It made the whole experience more enjoyable...!!
PARKS:
We went to an amusement park called "Kemah Boardwalk "; this was quite some fun. Everyone was able to break into groups and do as they pleased... the park reminded me of a carnival... the same kind of food's, the same kind of games.. and the same kind of rides. Man what a blast.
Also we traveled over to Galveston to Schlitterbahn... it was the smaller of all the parks but still pretty sweet...We stayed their for way too many hours considering most students did not wear sun screen...which resulted in the lazy pool over and over and finally we got tired of getting out and aiming to do something else but failing and resulting to the lazy pool... so we eventually stayed...!!
One cool park thingy that we went to before the Schlitterbahn experience was quite something else... We were able to split off and either go the Aquarium or the Rain forest, or watch a 3D movie... man there were so many lovely options... This was cool because we were only there for a couple of hours.. therefore we didn't get bored with it. Also it was neat to be able to see animals in a way that you never had before....I believe that the group as a whole took over 2,000 pictures just in this small time phrame alone.... their were so many beautiful sights... from monkeys, to birds, from sea horses to sea turtle...polar bears to penguins... and much more....it really was pretty beautiful!
