Also strolled through Tyler Rose Garden's collection of over 35,000 rose bushes, as well as many other flowering shrubs and plants. Both of these tours were free, so we're keeping within budget. We're eating at lots of BBQ and Mexican restaurants.

On 4/22, we toured Brookshire's Wildlife Museum and Country Store, which is a replica of the original grocery store chain from 1923, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Brookshire's collection of thousands of stuffed animals, birds and fish from North America and Africa.
