We went to dinner with Josh and Amber Piller during our Houston vacation and it was really nice. We were sad to have to go.

This guy was demonstrating throwing taffy on 1920s equipment just like they did back then. He gave out free samples, but Kelley didn't like it and DJ did not try because it was banana.

James works the grill for our dinner the first night we were in Houston at the beach house.

The rollercoaster at Universal went straight up the initial hill and let you choose your personal soundtrack form a bunch of choices at the beginning of the ride. The music played from speakers around your head. Pretty unique.

Our favorite ride in both parks, Transformers was pretty spectacular. This Optimus Prime on top of the entrance was enormous.

This was the entrance to the Simpsons ride - very cool theming and the ride was decent

Universal had a nighttime spectacular thing with fireworks, laser lights, water fountains, and clips of movies playing on a spray of water. It was pretty cool, but the Disney one at Hollywood Studios is much better.

Our last night in town we went and played more mini golf, this time at the haunted mansion themed course. These tombstones were talking at us while we were on this hole.
