Our apologies for getting behind on updating you on our road trip to Houston, but as they say "life got in the way". But we're back now, and ready to spill on our trip!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After our initial shock of how sprawling and city-centric Houston was, we settled in for our East Texas adventure. Saturday was spent at the rodeo with our hosts. Never been to a rodeo you say? Well, neither had we. We liken it to a state fair with cowboys and cowgirls. Plus a <a href="http://www.rodeohouston.com/" target="_blank">rodeo</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The boys fell for all the cowgirls in attendance. They've got a cute little "uniform" that caught the boys' eyes - cowboy boots and shorts or a dress. I get it. Unfortunately we don't have any pics of said hotties, because, well that would have been creepy. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The rest of our time in Houston was spent eating Tex-Mex, visiting NASA and Galveston, and hanging with our pals. We had some delicious Tex-Mex at a place called <a href="http://elrealtexmex.com/" target="_blank">El Real</a> which was located in an old movie theater. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We also got to visit <a href="http://spacecenter.org/" target="_blank">Space Center Houston</a>, where we even got to take a tour of the historic mission control and also got to see where they build and test a lot of the equipment. It was very cool, and highly recommended especially to space buffs. And on the way down we picked up some delicious donuts from <a href="http://www.shipleydonuts.ws/" target="_blank">Shipley Do-Nuts</a> - in business for over 76 years!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since we were close to the Gulf we decided to take a quick trip to Galveston on our last night there. Too bad it wasn't warmer. We imagine that it'd be pretty fun and happening in the summer months and during spring break. </span><br />

Wowza is that thing big! We nervously bought tickets to ascend to the top of the arch, but once we got loaded into the tiny pods (photo to come) to ride up to the top, all our anxieties melted away. We saw some pretty cool views of St. Louis before heading on our way to Houston. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After some frustrating traffic, delirium started to set in an we stopped at a hotel in Little Rock, AR. After deciding there wasn't much to see (sorry Arkansas!), we made the rest of the trip to Houston. Our friends M and I greeted us with open arms, and we hit up the town for some dinner and adult beverages. We'll have a ton of updates and more photos, but here's just a glimpse into our Texas road trip.</span><br />

And why not? While one of us had been as a kid, the other hadn't ever been. So with that we headed off. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our first stop? <a href="http://www.taliesinpreservation.org/" target="_blank">Taliesin</a>. Frank Lloyd Wright for the win! One of Chunk's favorites. Technically we didn't visit, we just observed what we could from the outside and ate brunch at the cafe. </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We then headed off to the Dells. Our first night we stayed in Baraboo not really knowing where to find a budget friendly hotel. We took the <a href="http://www.wisconsinducktours.com/" target="_blank">Original Ducks Tour</a> on the river and had dinner at the ridiculously busy <a href="http://www.dellsmoosejaw.com/" target="_blank">Moosejaw</a> restaurant. The tour was great, minus the annoying, screaming kids behind us (do we sound like old folks yet?). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We also checked out <a href="http://www.tommybartlett.com/exploratory/" target="_blank">Tommy Barlett's Exploratory</a>! Totally cool. A bit dated, but still really neat. It's a shame that more people weren't there (but lucky for us!).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After moving to Monaco Motel on the strip and breakfast at Mr. Pancake Monday morning, we headed to the Upper Dells Tour. The Upper Dells tour was more enjoyable (for us at least) than the regular tour. We got to stop at this cool area called the Witches Gulch, and we saw the famous dog jumping to Stand Rock. A 47 ft. column that <a href="http://hhbennettstudio.wisconsinhistory.org/" target="_blank">H.H. Bennett</a> photographed many times as his son jumped the chasm for him in order to capture motion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tuesday we headed to Chula Vista resort since our awesome motel gave us free waterpark passes. Unfortunately the water park was not too exciting, and actually pretty small and confusing. Instead we had lunch and headed to the famed <a href="http://noahsarkwaterpark.com/" target="_blank">Noah's Ark</a> water park. We lazed about in the lazy river and enjoyed a ride in the Dark Voyage....however, we've decided that we have become water park snobs. Efficiency was severely lacking, it seemed to be under construction due to weird fencing, and the employees appeared unhappy. We definitely prefer the Disney water parks in Orlando (see our <a href="http://chunkandkjsadventure.blogspot.com/2013/04/orlando-like-you-mean-it.html" target="_blank">old post</a>). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For our last dinner we went to <a href="http://www.sprecherspub.com/sprechers_dells_today.php" target="_blank">Sprecher's</a>, and enjoyed some beers, good food and an amazing hard root beer float!</span><br />

So we figured why not extend the trip a bit and head to <a href="http://www.wisdells.com/" target="_blank">The Dells</a>? There seems like there's so much to do there, and some over the top tourist traps similar to those we found on our Niagara Falls trip (see <a href="http://chunkandkjsadventure.blogspot.com/2010/03/oh-canada.html" target="_blank">here</a>). Not that we're opposed to cheese, we just don't want to overpay for something that's not that great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's also the matter of natural attractions vs. artificial (read: amusement parks, etc) attractions. Any tips out there readers?</span><br />

Indiana has a lot of good things to offer, but it's still Indiana. But today has been so nice that while on a walk you could almost pretend that it was Florida. If not for the lack of palm trees and a sun that seems a bit more tropical. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

You may remember a little post we did back when we visited <a href="http://chunkandkjsadventure.blogspot.com/2011/05/destin-ation-new-orleans.html" target="_blank">Destin</a> and we visited <a href="http://theshedbbq.com/" target="_blank">The Shed</a> (delicious!). Anyway, our friends K and T took us to <a href="http://4rsmokehouse.com/" target="_blank">4 Rivers Smokehouse</a> in Winter Garden, which apparently is a type of religion down in Orlando (this was explained to us as we passed numerous cars with 4 Rivers bumper stickers on them). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We arrived at 7pm, an hour before closing, and the line was out the door which we were told was the norm and often times it goes all the way down the street. The line moved fast and it was helpful that they have a giant menu on the wall outside. We settled on the Smokehouse Cuban with a side of cheesy grits (delicious!) and fried okra (we've had better) and the Signature Angus Brisket with fried pickles and potato salad (both delicious!). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We can't say enough good things about this place. It's too bad that the internet doesn't have smell-o-vision because we're sure you'd be in heaven. The only real disappointment was that we missed out on getting <a href="http://www.cheerwine.com/" target="_blank">Cheerwine</a> from the soda fountain! Only available in southern states, we got hooked on it on our southern road trip. </span><br />

After a few days of recoup we can update with more than just photos on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chunkandkjsadventure" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> (although those are fun too! And don't forget to like us!). We, of course, tried to pack in as much adventure as possible into our trip. Starting with a trip to <a href="http://www.seaworld.com/" target="_blank">Sea World</a>. Chunk especially like the Manta (see below) and the Kraken, while KJ was impressed with the various shows you could see (again, see below).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We love WDW, but four parks in two days was a bit intense. Not recommended for those who've never been, and while we got to hit up a lot of the things we wanted to do, we didn't get to do everything we wanted to. We're already planning our next trip back. Perhaps Christmas time?</span><br />

We've been there once before, but this time we have the delicious evidence to prove it! Our cupcake picks this time? Red Velvet Elvis (with chocolate chips in the batter!), Pucker Up (lemony goodness), I'll Drink to that Pink Champagne (cheers!), and Cheeky Cherry Cheese (who says you can't have cheesecake and cupcakes together?). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We were pretty pumped as the episode had made us hungry for loaded potatoes and sandwiches! We started off with the fresh made loaded potatoes (obviously!). Side note: They make almost everything from scratch- even the bread! Yum!

Our apologies for not updating in a while. Our adventures have been put to the side for a while because we've been busy with organizing businesses/jobs/lives etc! However, our newest pursuit for 2013 will be food related. Who can't relate to food? We're planning on visiting all of the places that Guy Fieri has in <a href="http://www.flavortownusa.com/locations.aspx?state=IN" target="_blank">Indiana</a> for his show <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/index.html" target="_blank"><i>Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives</i></a>. </span><br />

As we write this, we're sitting in a hotel room in Oshkosh, WI, on our way to the <a href="http://www.latviansongfest2012.com/" target="_blank">Latvian Song and Dance Festival in Milwaukee</a>. How did we get here? Well, some friends of ours got married in <a href="http://www.crystalmountain.com/" target="_blank">Thompsonville, MI</a> at a super cool resort, and instead of going home we decided to hit up the UP (that's Upper Peninsula for all of you unaware).</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
We arrived in the UP Sunday night, crossing Mackinac Bridge (huge and amazing- see below), and stayed two nights in St. Ignace. We lucked out with location, as the ferry to Mackinac Island was right across the street from our hotel (which, by the way, was a bit old-school, but solid- note the key). </div>

When we stepped off the ferry Monday afternoon we were met with a barrage of people, bikes, people on bikes, and horse drawn carriages. We spent an hour walking the streets (street, rather) trying to find a place to eat. After settling on a spot, we sat down and weren't greeted or spoken to for 10 minutes. So, instead we left, and found a different spot (where, surprise surprise, another group that had left the aforementioned spot after no greeting, also sat).</div>

The rest of our visit to Mackinac Island involved a trip up the hill to Fort Mackinac (quite a hike, but gorgeous views) and a carriage ride around the island with some super cheesy tour guides. The first guide indulged in only a few jokes, and otherwise entertained us (he also looked like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0350453/" target="_blank">Jake Gyllenhaal</a>- a plus for KJ). Our second guide drove us through the State Park where we got to see Arch Rock. He seemed to enjoy his jokes a little too much for our liking. </div>

And don't worry, we got some fudge. Orange pomegranate and sea salt caramel, as well as some other flavor we can't recall from <a href="http://www.sanderscandy.com/" target="_blank">Sanders</a>. Note: The second photo is from a different fudge shop on the island- they've got something like 17 total!</div>

So today we departed for Oshkosh, WI - a good break between there and Milwaukee. Of course we had to do some touristy things, so we stopped at <a href="http://www.castlerockmi.com/" target="_blank">Castle Rock</a>, a cool and very high old-school lookout. Chunk loved it, KJ held on for dear life. </div>

The other day we decided to trek over to the east side of Indy to check out the famous <a href="http://heidelberghaus.com/" target="_blank">Heidelberg Haus</a>. Not sure of what we were walking into, we were surprised by the kitschyness of it. Not that that's bad, but we felt like we were walking through our European grandmothers' basements. Note the decor below:</div>

Since 1968, the Heidelberg Haus has been a fixture in the Indianapolis area, bringing authentic German cuisine and baked goods (as well as groceries, beer steins, and other fun German things) to the Midwest. So we took a seat and out waitress, dressed appropriately in beer maid garb, brought us a menu that basically laid out our choices of various sausages accompanied by rye bread and German potato salad.</div>
