But..... they are doing ONE thing right: Relying on nuclear power for over 80% of their energy needs.

Not much to do in my little corner of the world. (Finley, Tennessee) We could sit on my front porch, drink sweet tea and watch the world go by at a slow pace. I could drive you around the county and see all the farm crops. Just a few miles west down the highway I could take you to the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. We could drive across the bridge into Missouri. About 30 miles north of where I'm at I could take you to historic Reelfoot Lake. There's a very small museum there with exhibits and a short film about the legend of the lake. We could walk the boardwalk around the edge of the lake, possibly take a pontoon ride out or fish off the bank. I could take you to one of the lake area restaraunts for a great catfish dinner. And of course, as part of good southern hospitality I could treat you to a homecooked southern meal in my home.....and would enjoy doing just that!

For my money, this sounds better than just about anything else!

Margie I can't add a lot to CB1 as he did an excellent job! However, there are a few things I always add to the list for my visitors.
I am near Beaumont now and I haven't found the exciting things to do here yet.
BUT while in Houston area it is a must to go to Galveston! The tour of the antibellum homes is a must!
They also have a huge aquarium, 3 D Cinamax, some shows have a choice of getting seats with a "ride" added. I'm sure that would be fun for the younger set. All of this is in the Moody Gardens area that also includes a butterfly atrium.
They have an Airport museum of WWII aircraft that is interesting and a Railroad Musem that I have yet to check out.
But you are near Kemah and you must stop there for great eating. Seafood is the best, but since that is not your favorite I "think" they may have a Mexican resturant as well. For sure Houston is full of them! But Kemah also has many rides the kids would enjoy, and then there is the paddleboat ride on the Colonel, that I have yet to take, but plan to some day.
Lots and lots to do in Houston and Galveston, not to mention the beach.
But IF you come this far you have to come home with me for some southern cooking.

The pastor of Christ Church, L.H. Hardwick, was born and raised in Finley, TN.
Also, my sister-in-law was born and raised in Finley. Her family, the Boals, were/are pretty prominent in the Finley community. Her grandfather, Homer Boals, owned the grocery store next to the post office. They tore down the store a few years ago. Her uncle was postmaster there for several years!
They own a large farm off of highway 104 in which the movie "In the Heat of the Night" starring Sidney Poitier was filmed.
Re: If I come to see you, what do I not want to mi
Well Margie, lets see...
umm.... we could, hmm... oh, and then, ummm...
I got nuthin.
But, we are only 2 hours from Los Angeles, or the Central Coast!
If you wanted to come in the middle of July or August, you could experience what it feels like to walk into an oven. Or how it feels to have your feet cooked through the soles of your shoes when you are standing on asphalt!
for the younger set. All of this is in the Moody Gardens area that also includes a butterfly atrium.
