With our time off, Amir and I took the chance to explore our new city a little more. We got a little "lost" on our way downtown, but our detour allowed us to take this pretty skyline picture.
Of course before heading downtown, Amir spent some time researching Houston buildings and architecture. We spent most of our time at the JP Morgan tower. Amir informed me it is the tallest building in Texas so that is kinda cool. Amir took a serious picture, and then I jumped in and tried to do the" touch the top of the building" thing...but I only made it to the 10th floor. Oh well!
We went inside to get a Starbucks, and discovered they had an observation deck on the 60th floor! It was no Sears Tower experience, but still pretty cool! From there we could see the 2nd and 3rd tallest building in Houston, and enjoy the sunset view. (The 3rd tallest is far away on the horizon)
As a break from studying/lesson planning today, we trekked down to the museum distract in hopes to see the Jung Center (for those of you who don't understand my excitement, see how cool her is here) which I've wanted to see since we moved here. However, they closed 20 minutes before our arrival so we'll have to reschedule. Instead, we headed back downtown to the Public Library where some of my students' artwork was on display. It was pretty awesome to see them "published" and on display!
