Houston 2000

I've put together an online photo album of our Memorial Day Weekend trip. It is divided up into sections, which correspond to the main events that occurred during the weekend. When you look at each section you'll see a collection of thumbnail images with a description of what's going on in the picture. You can click on the picture to see a larger version of the image in a separate window. (You don't need to close the separate window. The next image you click on will bring the window back to the foreground with the new picture.)
