We had planned to do lunch and a Harbour tour after that, unfortunately, we couldn't find the place where the Harbour Tour was supposed to be, so we drove to the Kemah Boardwalk instead and had lunch there. 
Returning from the Boardwalk we drove by the Space Center so we stopped in to finalize our annual membership and took in a couple of shows at the same time.From there we drove into Houston to do a bit of shopping and also experienced a true Houston rush hour.
For dinner we went to a wonderful restaurant, Backstreet Cafe. we know it was great because the ladies finished every bite of their meals!! (No, they weren't small servings.) Desert was every bit as good, as Roger had whipped up a cheesecake the previous evening!Thursday morning we said our good-bye's to Roger, Clarissa & Hildy and started on the journey home slightly before 8 AM. We made our way through the Houston rush hour and made great time through Texas.
We hit a traffic jam and a closed section of interstate in Oklahoma. Apparently there was a grass fire, most likely started by a carelessly disposed cigarette. :o(
We made the best of it, soaking in some back road scenery.
We were back on the interstate within an hour and rolled into Topeka a little after 9. The weather was a bit of a shock. Our day ranged from sunny, mid-80's with a south wind to raining, mid 40's and a strong north wind. Friday morning we'll probably debate whether we should head north or south. :o)
