USS Texas & San Jacinto Monument

After the taekwando tournament we decided to go on a little adventure since the day was so beautiful. We decided to take the girls to see the USS Texas and the San Jacinto monument. We took a ferry across part of the Houston Ship Channel to get there.



First stop was the USS Texas. The USS Texas is the only battleship that was used in both WWI and WWII.



Since the San Jacinto Monument was near by, we headed over there next. The San Jacinto Monument stands 570 feet tall, 15 feet taller than the Washington Monument. The views from the observation deck were amazing.



The girls had fun exploring the battleship and the monument. I took this picture across from the base of the monument, overlooking the reflecting pool.



As we were leaving, the sun was beginning to set and the moon was rising. I was able to get this picture. A perfect end to a fun day.
