Here we are with my dear friend Julia (aka "my other sister"). She and her husband Gulzar graciously hosted us. They are both geologists and their house is full of maps and fossils - Aidan was in heaven!
Aidan wanted to go to Hermann Park and the zoo there. We used to take Aidan on this train when he was an infant.

Here's Aidan on board
We visited the zoo as well. Aidan was particularly interested in checking out the robotic dinosaur exhibit. Here he is with the T-rex
Houston has fantastic museums. Aidan wanted to go to the Children's Museum and the Museum of Natural Science.

He really wanted to go the Butterfly Gallery
Of course, Space Centre Houston was on the list! We visited Mission Control, saw where the astronauts train and also saw the Saturn V rocket!

We had to get a photo beside the globe outside the Museum of Natural Science
Julia surprised us with some pajamas that her mom made for Maya and Aidan. Here they are at home sporting them! Thanks for the thoughtful gift, Mary!
Aidan had a great time visiting his "homeland". And I enjoyed the trip down memory lane and catching up with Julia and Mary L.
Our next homeland tour will be to Vietnam, but that will likely be several years from now.
