Another trip from our church provided by the Harris County Bus. We first went to the McDonalds in the museum district. Then on to the Holocaust Museum. We had a very wonderful guide (Fred) who not only knew the history but lived thru the whole ordeal. His family was one of the lucky ones that escaped with nothing but their lives. It was very emotional to hear his story and to know that that it was not just heresay but true happenings. We then went on to Cleburne's cafeteria for lunch. It has been in business since the 1940's.The portions are enough to share and 4 of us enjoyed 1 serving of the bread pudding. Yes and we all had a good portion of it. We then went on to the Houston Baptist University and to their Bible museums. It is one of the largest in the U.S.. Very informative guide, Doug Sanders, no not the golfer. He is 85 years old. No typo error I did say 85. He gave us a tour and then showed us a short film on the history of the Bible. We were then free to tour on our own and we discovered that there was also a museum on the Architecture of the early years and some history on it. I highly encourage you to visit one or both of these. We finished up our trip with our usual group picture and then we were on our way home.
Our trip to the museums took us thru downtown Houston on I-45.
Then we arrived at the museum district.
The above statue outside. (Above).

McDonalds in the Museum Area for coffee.
And we stopped at Cleburne Cafeteria for lunch.
Good food and large portions also, Great Bread Pudding.
The whole crew on the bus.
We could only take pictures outside here due to their rules.
These next two pictures I did not take, I snagged them from the internet and they are not that good of quality, however I did want to add to this blog.
These two pictures were items we saw at the Holocaust Museum Houston.
The one below is a train car like they used to transport the people in during the Holocaust time, up to 200 persons were loaded into this type of rail car.
Now on to the Bible Museeum.
Interesting.
Notice how the Bible had to be hid during this time.
This as dated 1822. WOW.
Read above caption about this very Old Bible.
Nice read.
The 10 Commandments.
A bonus to our trip at HBU Museum. 
I could not resist taking this picture.
Very nice.
One of many statues in this area.

Many of the uses for a fan that women used. Hope you can read all of these.

Inside the Belin Chapel at the Bible Museum.
Thought this was a great picture that was on the doors of the Belin Chapel entrance.
Everyone on the County Bus today.
This picture says it all. God Bless our service men and women.
