Jeff recently began a series of treasure hunts for Ally and Emmy as a reward for making all "A's" on their report cards. The first took place at
Allen's Landing and the second at the
San Jacinto Monument and the Battleship Texas. I participated in the third hunt which was at
Brazos Bend State Park over the school holidays. We utilized
GPS technology to locate the clues scattered around the park by "pirates". Once all of the clues were gathered, they had to be deciphered. The deciphering then offered a clue to where the next hunt would take place.
The weather was a bit blustery and overcast so we couldn't visit the
George Observatory; but we saw one 'gator in the water and were treated to a spectacular sunset.
