the other weekend we went to the houston aquarium with some friends. despite our deep hatred for the developer, tillman fertitta (read: furtits --tis a story for another day) and our better judgement to attend an indoor public activity on a saturday during the hottest summer ever, it was pretty impressive (read: the longest lines ever, and did NOT get to see the shark exhibit!). i did hold back tears when we saw the white tiger because he is in such a small space...(i still get sad thinking about...i'm hoping he gets to run wild and smell the outside air at least once in awhile). BUT we ended the whole affair in the bar drinking blue moon while our babies roamed in the A/C. Can't really complain about that!
