Back on March 12, Liz and I took the kids to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.  We chose to use the park and ride lot off US 290 and it really turned out to be a good decision.  Early that day a gasoline tanker rolled over on LP 610 and almost the entire South loop was shut down.  Since the Rodeo takes place at the Reliant Center which is on 610 South, I wouldn’t have know an easy alternative route.  As a plus, we rode in on a really nice commercial coach bus.  We scored some really great tickets from some friends with the Burleson County Go-Texan group and the seats were just off the shoots for the bull riders and bronc riders.  Awesome view of just about everything.

Even with the extra-time required for the detour (about an hour, even by bus) we arrived just in time for the beginning of the Rodeo.  The girls gobbled down a whole bucket of cotton candy and Liz and I shared a foot-long chili dog.  I hadn’t been to the Rodeo in a couple of years and I really forgot how much fun it is.
