All right! We have all survived the flight from LA to Houston! There is a reason why they call these midnight flights the "red eyes"...We literally all came off the flight with red eyes...red with exhaustion and hunger.
We met our loyal luggage, and somehow, they have gained a couple of pounds...just like every muscle in our body! But, NOT ONLY did we manage to keep all the people, we didn't lose any of our stuff. (knock on wood) Luckily, the bus that greeted us right outside the baggage claim was nice.
What happened following that was a surreal blur because I honestly don't remember. I think our luggage dragged us into the hotel, where we were devastated to find out that we couldn't check in and that there was a whole day of lessons waiting for us.
Joe, the presenter of the morning lesson, led us into the kids' classroom for the next week. All of us, me included, were in a state of brain coma. He introduced Houston, our upcoming program for the week, and the rules for staying in the hotel. He was a good speaker and got us to laugh a little. Wait, maybe it was the fact that he announced there was breakfast that made us laugh...can't recall exactly.
The hotel was nice enough for us to check in at around 11:40am for a 30-minute break to change and freshen up. I took one of my famous 5-minute showers. When I met up with all the kids later, they were in new clothes, but still looked sluggish.
We took the public transportation to the Modern Art Museum. We were given lunch before the tour started. Our tour guide Lauren, was very nice. She gave us a very general yet informative tour around the museum, staring with the history of the museum, the different collections available, and took us through a quick glance at western art. I enjoyed it, minus the fact that there were these security guards who kept telling the kids not to wander off or to get too close to the paintings.
We got some time off after coming back from the museum, and I believe everyone's only thought was to get better acquainted with their bed. Dinner time was 6:15pm. Dinner was pizza and soft drink, and our dinner lesson was to watch High School Musical. It was nice to end the day like that.
I apologize for the poor quality of this entry, but the kids and I had a serious work out today! So, to make up for the lack of quality, I will attach some photos I managed to bribe the kids into taking...this is Frankie, from Houston!
