L.B. Johnson Space Center and Padre Island National Seashore

Well, today has proved to be interesting, yet seven days now we have managed to see rain. As we were driving to Corpus Christi sky was blue and out of the middle of nowhere a cloud burst. Honestly, I haven't seen anything like this before, very interesting.

We are in crisis with our illegal alien population. Even if you do not approve of illegal immigrants, do you approve of treating people as second class citizens? Do you ...

... to earth practical genuine people.  What a treat!  We were so impressed with our experience in Texas.    We made it to Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico that day and toured the caverns.  Thanks TJ for suggested we stop here.  Now let me tell you Evelyn was a serious trooper.  She has a great fear of caves and spaces that are enclosed by rock.  We went 1500 feet underground in these natural caverns.  It was stunningly beautiful and Evelyn did great.    Carlsbad Caverns are known for bats but ...
