We had fun over "Spring Break" as a family. We stayed home, but did Day Trips (we love to do this as a family and the children enjoy our "adventures"). Since we are studying Texas History this year and next we combined the two.
Monday - Was a day to run errands, and Allen Sr. had to work at the Residental Treatment Facility for Boys.
 |
| Makaela and Allen at the Plantation House |
Tuesday - Varner-Hogg Plantation in West Columbia, TX. This was a Sugarcane Plantation back in the day. It was founded in 1824. We went to Angleton as well to see the statue of Stephen F. Austin.
 |
| Dad and Makaela at the Oil Field Manager's House on the Plantation. |
 |
| Allen Jr. |

Wednesday - Washington-on-the-Brazos State Park, Barrington Living Farm and a Museum. We also went to Chappell Hill and toured the Historical buildings. Washington was where they signed the "Texas Declaration of Independence" on March 2, 1836 and the government of Republic was formed. Lots of good history here. :o)

 |
| In front of the farm house. I love the way it is open in the middle, with a breeze way. |
Thursday - Huntsville, TX - Sam Houston and the Sam Houston Museum and park at the University.
 |
| I believe this pictures speaks for itself! Lol |
Friday - San Jacinto Monument (and Battleship Texas) east of Houston. San Jacinto was where Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836. The battle lasted about 18 minuets.
We had a fun filled week and have many memories as well.
