This last week Jeff had a business trip in Houston. I really didn't want to be home alone working on house projects over our birthdays. So I went with him! It was SO much fun! A few guys from his work (and school) that he is friends with. Two of them brought their wives, and one brought her kids. Us wives had a blast while they were in class all day, and then we partied with them once they got to the hotel in the evenings.
Monday we went to the Houston Zoo. That night we went to an "alumni dinner" for Jeff at a pizza place. Later Jeff and I went for a walk, and stopped at Sonic where I tried my first pineapple limeade (that I had heard was delicious). It's true - they are delicious. Then our friends that were there for training surprised us with ice cream cake in our hotel room. Hmmm...ice cream twice in one day? No wonder I am gaining weight so quickly now.
Tuesday we went to the Houston Space Museum. Very cool.
Wednesday we went the kids to a park with teeter-totters! Too bad they are quickly becoming extinct. So fun! That night we went to Kemah boardwalk, which was beautiful. We ate at Saltgrass Steakhouse that night - Jeff even shared salmon with me! :)
Thursday I got to go to the Houston temple. It was so nice!!! The San Antonio temple is closest to Corpus Christi, and it takes us 2 & 1/2 hours to get there. If you want to do endowments on a Saturday you have to book an appointment. Truth is, it is wonderful to have to work a little harder to get to the temple. And I'm oh so thankful that we have one close enough for a day trip!
