We truly had a wonderful time in Texas. On our last day we tried to squeeze in as many activities as possible. We started off the day by going downtown to the bayou city art festival. We spent a couple of hours looking at the art, not hardly enough time, but I wanted to go the renaissance fair as well, so we had to move on.
We then headed to the Renaissance fair, and Troy was in pirate heaven. He really likes pirates, and a lot of people had dressed up as pirates. There was one in particular that looked a little like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean, and Troy was so fascinated by him. This particular pirate was enjoying a beer when we got there and Troy just stopped in his tracks and starred at him. We saw him several times throughout the day. I was a bit worried that Troy would start to question why his pirate could barely stand upright towards the end of the day, but luckily he did not notice. The pirate however did notice Troy’s fascination with him and took the time to stop and chat with him, and give him a high five. Troy could not get over the fact that he got to high five a real living pirate.
They sold a lot of pirate stuff at the fair, and Troy wanted it all.
To end the day we headed over to the woodlands to see Sugarland in concert. By this time Troy was exhausted, and by the time Sugarland made it on stage, he was sound asleep in my lap.
The concert was awesome and a great way to end our time in Texas.
The next day we headed for the airport to go back to Norway. I did my best to avoid getting on that plane, and dragged everyone into a gift shop. Unfortunately they heard the announcement for last call for boarding and started running toward our gate (darn it), so we ended up making it.
The trip back was uneventful and we made it back to Norway, where a lot of people were really anxious to meet Troy again. Troy was really happy to meet his girlfriend. He had even brought her back a gift from Texas.
