Must Be Heaven
Posted: May 10, 2014 in FoodTags: Brenham Texas, macro photo, Must Be Heaven, Restaurant, reuben sandwich, travel, Travel and Tourism
Must Be Heaven is a sandwich, pie, and ice cream shop in downtown Brenham, Texas. I arrived on a weekend and I knew I was about to encounter something great because the line for service was stretching outside the restaurant. The workers and service staff take great pride in providing you with the best experience and food possible. The interior has a lot of antiques and historical items and the aromas summon a foodie like the pied piper. The Reubens, sausage sandwiches, and sawdust pie are HEAVENLY!

Here are some photos I took at the restaurant. I highly recommend it.

Casa Rio Restaurant San Antonio, Texas
Posted: March 10, 2014 in FoodTags: Casa Rio Mexican, Mexican Food, Restaurant, San Antonio, San Antonio River Walk, Travel and Tourism
I am reflecting on how much I love Casa Rio Mexican Restaurant in San Antonio,Texas. For over 25 years, I have been enjoying the Casa Rio El Rio Dinner. The dinner starts off with nachos and guacamole salad. I love the cheese on the nachos, and the little bit of hot sauce that tops the guacamole off. It is a nice added touch that makes the dinner special to me. The top shelf margaritas are also an added touch that makes one smile and easily take in the people watching along the river.
Next comes the hot plate. The hot plate consists of a well-seasoned tamale, a big tasty taco, a cheese enchilada oozing with the best sauce and cheese, chile con carne that is so flavorful, and Mexican rice and beans.
I think the photos speak volumes, but you will never know until you give it a try. This is Tex-Mex at it’s best!

Pleasure pier http://www.pleasurepier.com/ is built on the old Flagship Hotel pier in Galveston, Texas. This pier rivals Navy Pier in Chicago, or the Santa Monica Pier. Right on the Pier is the famous Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, if you are hungry! http://www.bubbagump.com/ There are snack shops, games, high and low thrill rides, and live music. Here are few photos from the pier. I hope you enjoy and find time to visit!
Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish

Just to the North of Houston is a small town called Conroe. Conroe is home to Lake Conroe, one of the best fishing and recreational lakes about 40 miles north of Houston. Right off Hwy 105, in Conroe, is one of the best catfish restaurants in the state of Texas. This restaurant is called Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish. http://www.kuntrykatfish.com/
Not to be long on words, I will let the photos do the talking, but I can tell you this, you will not find better prices, and better catfish anywhere in Texas. The green tomato relish and hushpuppies are out of this world. Oh, and the waitresses and staff, fantastic!

A Big Alligator!
I took this photo at Brazos Bend State Park.
I estimate the size at about 12 feet and 500 plus pounds.
I was 30 feet away when I shot the photo. Brave or stupid? LOL

We Love Houston

Philadelphia has their LOVE art and it is very popular for photography. I am very proud that Houston, one of the fastest growing cities in America, now has its own art too. Our art piece is much bigger than Philadelphia. Everything is bigger in Texas!
WE LOVE HOUSTON

The Iron Rattler- Fiesta Texas San Antonio
Posted: September 18, 2013 in Roller CoastersTags: Iron Rattler, Roller coaster, San Antonio, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Texas, Travel and Tourism
The Iron Rattler at Fiesta Texas lives up to its bite, with a 171 foot drop at 81 degrees, a top speed of 70 m.p.h., a zero g barrel roll, camel backs, and some really cool over banked turns. I have ridden many coasters and I must say the Iron Rattler makes me feel as if I am on a wild bull. If you are brave and love thrills, the Iron Rattler will meet your needs.
