Rainbows and Stars and Bikes and Trains


So, yes, that's a double rainbow on our drive down to Brazos Bend for the weekend....


...where we got to enjoy Rich's new Kawasaki SYSX300 sport bike (surprisingly comfortable!)...


...which we drove over to the Rosenberg Rail Museum... 


...with it's 100 year old still-operational signal box, and fully restored passenger car...


...various accruements and relics from the hey-day of rail travel....


...and miniature trains that speed along their tracks and spark your imagination.


We enjoyed a loooong lunch at Ol' Railroad Cafe...


...and then for dinner used our new tiny Webber grill to cook...


...hotdogs, of course! And enjoyed them with really good ketchup, and a really good movie...


...before riding over to the George Observatory where we saw Mercury before sundown...


...and then returned down the red-lite path to see the rings of Saturn after dark!


Brazos Bend is a great park for wildlife (deer! and aligators!)...


...and for slow days packing to go back home.
