Various Places and Times
The FUMC Traveling Seniors definitelylove to go.They have been to see plays, musicals, opry shows, banjo bands, comedians, gospel music shows, painted churches, gardens, wildflowers, a potter, a television show, a cheese factory, a chocolate factory, a few museums, an exhibit of 32 old Texas flags, the Space Center, the Houston Astros, Christmas lights, statues of Mickey Mouse and Cow Parade Houston among other things. They have gone on boat rides, mystery trips, tours of other cities, and to the Texas Independence Day Celebration at Washington-on-the-Brazos. They have been to the Blue Bell Creamery and eaten at more restaurants than anyone could possibly imagine! And, they are still going strong thanks to Harris County Precinct 4 who makes all these trips possible by providing buses and drivers to senior adult groups free of charge. They have also learned how to take the Metro Bus from the Park and Ride, transfer to the Metro Train in downtown Houston and ride to the Texas Medical Center and beyond. In addition to Day Trips, they have also been on a number of motorcoach bus trips. Destinations have included Branson, MO; Eureka Springs, AR; Nashville, TN and the Great Smoky Mountains; and in Texas: Fredricksburg, San Antonio, Marshall, Jefferson, Grapevine, South Fork Ranch, Plano, Salado, Amarillo and Palo Duro Canyon.
