Houston - For Rodeo and a bit of sightseeing

by CdnJane - last update: Mar 8, 2003

Houston Reliant Stadium - Massive

Reliant Stadium (R) and Astrodome (bump on left)
My friend Deb & I went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for the purpose of seeing Tim McGraw in concert. I was in awe at the size of the Reliant Stadium and how it dwarfed the old Astrodome!
Cowboys and a Canadian Cowgirl

A Bit of Rodeo

What is Texas without seeing a rodeo... and cowboys? But how many of those cowboys were real and how many were just the weekend variety?

Kemah Boardwalk - just a little drive south

There was no parking in Galveston because of the Mardi Gras, so we decided to look for an alternative... and found Kemah, as had been suggested to us.
Lots to do around KemahBoardwalk

Cons:"Its a big city, lots of cars and driving everywhere"
In A Nutshell:"Houston ... we didn't have a problem"

 Looks like you had a great time in Houston. We were in south Texas a few weeks ago and loved it.
