On new year's day we headed to Houston. We were again very fortunate to be able to stay with another ATC family. They invited us to come for dinner- a traditional southern new year's meal. Ham, black eyed peas, cornbread and cabbage. Maureen and Jim welcomed us into their home and we enjoyed this delicious traditional new year's day meal together. I will be making this when I get home. They suggested we visit the Johnson Space Center which was just a few minutes from their home. We hadn't realized how close it was when we called them. What a wonderful place to visit! We spent many hours there on Jan. 2nd and could have easily spent another day. We went out to dinner at a true Texas BBQ place called Rudy's. We enjoyed the food and the company. Thanks, Maureen and Jim for introducing us to Texas BBQ.
We had some great conversations and ended up staying up late. We have been so impressed with our ATC members who have opened their doors and shown us warmth and generosity as we travel. Maureen and Jim could not have been more hospitable. They fed us delicious meals, drove us to and from the Space Center, took us out for breakfast and did everything they could to make us comfortable. They even sent us off with a container full of Jim's "world famous" pralines and brownies!
