San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site (obelisk)

Right across from the Battleship Texas is an enormous obelisk (570 feet tall). We went over and looked at the museum and then rode the elevator to the top to look at the Houston landscape.

I took some pictures that show the kids under the monument and then one from far away to show how huge it really is.

 

You can see Downtown Houston in the middle of this picture.

The kids are on the steps at the base of the obelisk (just off to the left)
