Day Trip -- The Woodlands Mall

The Woodlands Mall -- Cheesecake Factory and P.I.Chang -- we were waiting for the water taxi to arrive. Our taxi was the "Trinity" -- all of the water taxis are named for Texas rivers.

We had a 15 miute wait to see if any more riders arrived. There weren't any more so we left.

This is an Irish Pub located on the waterway. It was taken apart in Ireland and rebuilt here in America. The outside is not authentic but the inside is said to be exactly like what it was in Ireland.

The wind was blowing -- the winds will push the boats but the Trinity is one of the heaviest boats so we didn't have any problems.

Along the water way we saw office buildings and also apartments. The building shown below is full of apartments and lofts. They range in size/price from 1600 sq. ft./$450,000 (bottom floor) to 4000 sq. ft./1 million dollars (top floors) My Sweetie said we might want to consider one of the top units. Ok, I've considered it -- Nope, can't afford it!

There are a number of statues of deer scattered around the waterway. These are the "Kissing Deer."

On the left is the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion -- Many, many concerts are held here.

It was damaged by Hurricane Ike but has now been repaired. George Mitchell, Cynthia's husband, was the developer of the Woodlands Mall

The carousel below is in the Mall. The children were really enjoying it! It was pretty but not as nice as the double decker carousel at Memorial City Mall.

Our day trip was fun! We'll have to do another one soon!
