2009 Houston Auto Show
January 26, 2009 – 6:16 pmI got to visit the 2009 Houston Auto Show at the Reliant Center and it was very fun. We should have come earlier because there was so much to see. Three hours was not enough time to check everything out, but I got to look at and sit in a lot of fun and new cars.
