Houston / LaGrange

Jamie Palmer (Emily's roommate of 3 years from BYU) got married in the Houston Temple.
We saw these giant bees at the temple. The kids named this one "Big Buzzer."
Pit stop in LaGrange, TX
Monument Hill State Park. The monument is dedicated to a bunch of Texans that were killed by a bunch of Mexicans back in the mid-1800s. If you want to read some interesting history, read about the Black Bean Lottery.


Kreische Home (and brewery ruins). This home was built back in the mid-1800s by a German immigrant, so the state maintains it as a historical home and as a tribute to European immigrant settlers. This area was settled by German and Czech immigrants, so we also tried the Czech-inspired kolaches at Weikel's Bakery. (4.7 stars on Google, Nor!)
