Last night as I watched the news I saw that the trail riders for the Houston Rodeo were staying at Johnson Space Center.  This morning I was DETERMINED to find them to get a photo to send to all my non-Texan friends.  While I have lived in Houston a while, I had never seen the trail riders and have had them on a rather weird bucket-list of things to see.

After a few failed attempts, I decided to actually go to the internet and look at a map under the media guide provided by the rodeo .  I positioned myself at Bay Area Park and not only did I see them, they came into the park right behind my mini-van.  There we were - me and a maintenance worker - welcoming them for their stop.

While this may seem strange, it is one of the unique things I like about Houston.  It is a HUGE city, but cowboys and wagons go through the streets once a year.  How cool is that!
