Note:  All of the pictures have been shrinked down to fit the page size.  To see the BIGGER version of the same picture, simply download the picture and open up with your graphics editor.  Most of these pictures are actually somewhere in the range of 1024x768 (I cropped the pictures and also changed the lighting in some cases).

This page needs to be viewed at 1024x768 resolution or higher.   If you don't have a 17" monitor, I feel bad for you...

 

Mvc-549x.jpg (153107 bytes) Here we are, at Moody Gardens.  Eddie got to come along with us since it was Saturday so there is more picture of the three of us!  :)  

Moody Gardens is a non-profit organization.  They are there to promote awareness of mother earth.  The place has various different parts to it and each attraction is in a pyramid.  (See the pyramid behind us?)

That day was really really cold and windy(okay, for Houston/Florida person such as us, we were freezing our butts off) so we didn't explore the outside of Moody Gardens.  I'm sure if we got to see the outside portion of it, it would have been better  (i.e.  The place isn't all that impressive if you just stayed indoors - It is right near the Galvaston Bay, I'm sure it would be gorgeous to see the bay.). However, we weren't about to go outside with the freezing weather...


The Discovery Pyramid

Ha!  Look at Nancy!  She is pretending to take a shower just like the astronauts would have in space.  Doesn't she look cute?  

Can you believe that the astronauts only gets ONE GALLON of water to take each shower?    I guess they have to be that restrictive when the water supply is so limited.

Oh, yea, after they take the shower, they actually have to manually suck up the water drops!!!  The water drops are flowing in space!  Isn't that cool?

There's me sitting on the space toliet!  The seats have gadgets to hold down your thigh in space.  Pretty uncomfortable!  I'm glad that we don't have to use stuff like that in real life.   It would be such a pain!

Hey, look at the pictures of Nancy and I, then look at the pictures of Eddie and Tammy.  Nancy and I are definitely more fun when taking pictures!!!
