We had a relaxing day at the campground. We stopped by the office to get the code for the gym. Then we took the boys to dog island. We sat outside the rest of the day and just relaxed and enjoyed the sunshine. Retirement rocks!

Today is the anniversary of our first contact – an email from Daniel. We were both on VeggieDate looking for “the one”. We very quickly became inseparable. To celebrate we went hiking with the boys at Sam Houston National Forest in New Waverly, TX. We also made a nice dinner of baked marinated tofu over a bed of brown rice with a pepper jack sauce, vegan of course.

We worked on stuff at the camper most of the day. Daniel is taking an online safe driver course to get a lower rate on car insurance. They did a whole section on how ABS brakes function which seemed a little weird because ABS brakes have been standard since 2004. Then we realized that people living in the south may not use ABS breaks very often so info on what and how is probably appropriate.

Today is an adventure day! Of course we started the day with a trip to dog island for the boys. They love it there so much!
We drove to Houston and took a tour of the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern which cost $15 per person and was totally worth it. This cistern was built in 1926, took 95 days to complete, and held 15 million gallons of water for Houston residents. It was decommissioned in 2007 and turned into a park. It has 221 columns and is currently filled with about 10 inches of water which gives a nice optical illusion. The acoustics are amazing inside the cistern! Listen to the tour guide sing in the video below.
Our history tour guide sang for us because this cistern has an echo that lasts 17 seconds!
Next we walked in a park next to a river down to the bat bridge. We did not see any bats but we could hear them. They leave the bridge every night at dusk. The view of the city during our walk was beautiful. Houston has miles of underground tunnels that connect various office buildings. The tunnels offer shopping and dinning.
Next we drove to graffiti park. We like street art and find the creative messages and artistic talent to be just as good as any museum.
We met Stacy, Daniel’s friend from college, for coffee. It was fun talking to her. She is funny and welcoming. And she gave us homemade vanilla extract! Can’t wait to use it in my cooking. We already have plans to meet up with her again on Saturday.
