Texas 2012

There is ALOT to see in Texas I may never see it all but I love going there I've made alot of great friends there over the years and always look forward to going. If you wanna see it they got it. Check out these old pics from Galveston in 2010.
 
Did I mention I like the beach? Oh yeah probably mentioned that

Well this time there were other places to head to. I had training courses I was teaching in Baytown, Huntsville, San Marcos, and Fort Worth. It pretty much started as soon as I got off the train from New Orleans.

I'm a big fan of skylines especially at night and Houston has a great one

The above video was actually taken in Fort Worth

Usually the biggest course we do in Texas is in San Marcos home to Texas State University. We usually stay at a travel lodge there and I like to at least stop by the Bikini's Restaurant at least once while we are there.
 
Shameless I know but oh well

While teaching the course in the bay area of San Marcos PD we decided to pose with a Humvee in there for fun.
 
Cruz looks all professional I'm about the mean mug myself I gotta get better at it though

After San Marcos Cruz needed to head down to Corpus Christi his daughter was having a baby and he was about to become a Grandfather So I hitched a ride since I was staying with his family anyway. Here are a few pics from the car in Corpus and the surrounding area.
  
Windmills as an alternate energy source
 

After Corpus we hit up a party in Orange Grove. It was alot of fun and Cruz's relatives are great people. I ate way too much but it was too good not to.

I had to take a pic of this next anomaly. A stair stepper with a beer holder. That's something there!
 
Instead of going back to Houston that night we stopped in Woodsboro and stayed with Cruz's grandmother she had a couple extra rooms. It was about the best sleep I remember having. I'd met her once before and it was great to see her again. Check out the view.
 

If I had that view from my front porch it'd be hard to get me away from the house alligators be damned. There's alot of great things in Texas and I'm sure I haven't even scraped the surface so you'll be seeing alot of Texas in this blog.
