Finally I Get Some Fun

When the conference broke for the day (at 5:30PM!) I took a taxi to the 39th Pier to meet up with Gina & the gang for dinner. They took a pedicab from where they docked to the 39th -- should have gotten a photo of that! Poor guy who had to pedal with the 4 of them in the back :-)

We met at a restaurant themed around a famous Tom Hanks movie. Here's a hint:

Did you guess it? Bubba Gump's Shrimp House! It was situated right on the water. Don't we look happy to be there?

Although the food was just so-so, Lori seemed to really enjoy the themed tall glass of beer. It was a two-hander!


Pier 39 is quite similar to the Kemah Boardwalk. Lots of restaurants, rides, and souvenir shops. And also a place where you can see the sea lions laze around. I'm not sure if that one is waving to us or is about to roll off the pier.
