April 11, 2009, RCI Vacation Week.
Our Condo for the week at Lake Conroe
If you bring your boat there is a spot at the pier for you, With 22,000 acres of water and 154 miles of shoreline there is plenty of exploring, especially when you get lost. {No, we did not!}
Walking the Boardwalk in front of the private homes.
You can see the lake from the pool. 
Strolling around the grounds past Pool #2, we watch the Volleyball players.
Bob relaxes on the Patio on the "backside" of the Condo.
This drive around the lake reminds us of northern Michigan. We kept reminding ourselves that we were still in Texas. So different from the "Valley" where it is desert and Palm trees.
Easter Sunday we see a truck with Bunny Ears sticking up on the windows.
Texas State Prison at Huntsville, where the worst of the worst live on Death Row waiting their date with a needle.
Traveling to Huntsville State Prison , we spent a couple hours visiting the Museum reading information about life from both sides of the bars and looking at the items for sale made by Prisoners.
This Pistol was found under a magazine on Bonnie's lap after she was shot and killed.
Prisoners get very cleaver passing the long hours to keep the boredom low.
Some of the items on display were this monopoly game . See how "personal" they made the game.
I am not sure where the material for the ship came from but the flowers are made of toilet paper. Very delicate and beautiful. Soap and dental floss also were used in many ways.
Here is the "star" of the museum "Old Sparky" the famous Electric Chair.
There is a long explanation of how it works and what happens when someone is in the chair. You get a vivid description which make chills go down your spine. Talk about being scared straight..
