Question OT: Houston Area Fun?

My wife and I will be traveling to the Houston area on Oct. 4 thru the weekend. Any suggestions on places to visit and things to do while we are there? I will be there for the weekend and she has to stay most of the week for business.

Thanks!

I'll second Kemah and NASA. The Clear Lake area is where a bunch of the boats are. Hit the Turtle Club for drinks and karaoke (or a band). Also Moody Gardens in Galveston is kind of neat - IMAX, aquarium, indoor rainforest, etc. The Texas Renaissance Festival opens that weekend. It's just a bit north of Houston. If your wife is into shopping, there's the Galleria (lots of high-end stores and an ice skating rink) and a trip west out I-10 to Katy Mills might be good.

I'll also be going to Houston on 9-29-02 for about 4 days. I heard Lances Turtle Club is where a lot of the hot rod boats hang out. Any truth to that?

Whiteknuckle - You are correct! The Turtle Club is THE place on Clear Lake.
