<p>P's Mom -- if you find you have some extra time while visiting, you might want to head over to the Museum of Fine Arts <a href="http://www.mfah.org%5B/url%5D">www.mfah.org</a> or the Houston Museum of Natural Science The</a> Houston Museum of Natural Science. They're both excellent museums and very close to campus -- actually one light rail stop away. Or you can head over to Rice Village and wander around. Rice</a> Village</p>
<p>Enjoy your visit!</p>
<p>Thank you blackeyedsusan. Those are excellent suggestions--I can't wait to visit!</p>
<p>P's Mom--my wife did the parent tour type things on Monday morning, then did lunch at a nearby Vietnamese restaurant before sleeping all afternoon (work kept her up all night prior to 630 a.m. flight to Houston). Had dinner with friends from Beaumont that night. Tuesday a.m., wandered around campus and met with FA. </p>
<p>Just enough for her to get a decent feel for a campus that she had never visited before.</p>
