Not all Expeditions are out of town

This past Sunday in Houston was a beautiful day. low 70s, low humidity, so we decided to ride down to Hermann Park for a mini-expedition.

This is our typical route from the park, with a few detours just for fun:

when we got there, we enjoyed just walking around the new Centennial Gardens:

We walked to the top of the Mount, and it was PACKED with people: 

Here is our path in the Garden. You can see that Google has not yet updated the layout of the park. Look at the old parking lot location!

 The spiral is our path up the Mount. The little spike on the North West part of the route was me going to take a photo with Robert Burns. It was Burns Day.

Here is the Mount:

Another view of the Pavillion:

and finally, a camellia!

Expeditions come in various shapes and sizes. This is one of my favorite.
