Trip to Texas

In the second week of July my husband and I took off for the South. We had 2 weddings, 3 wedding receptions, a few birthdays, and some babies to see while we were there. We landed in the afternoon on a Wednesday, grabbed a snack, I got a haircut and then my parents took us out for Mexican food at Chuys. We also spent some of the evening visiting with my aunt and uncle and my grandparents.

Early Thursday we made a run for San Antonio with my grandparents in the back. Luckily my husband and my grandad didn't get into any political disagreements during the 4 hour drive. We did stop at Bucky's really quickly since my grandparents said they had never been there before.

Once in SA we dropped off the grandparents, ate some deliciously fattening Mexican at Panchitos with Ryan's best friend and hung out at the Quarry Market until dinner. Our dear friend Willy joined us at Starbucks and Ryan and he talked about a great deal of historical and political topics I am not the least bit interested in.

We chose The Cove as a great place to meet up with a few other friends for dinner. I just love their salads. The Cove is such an interesting place. Where else in the world can you have amazing food and follow it up with delicious ice cream while washing your car and doing your laundry? And all with an amazing band playing in the background. Our amazingly cool friends Dave and Shannon joined us for dinner and it was great to get to see them again.

Friday morning found us eating breakfast tacos at Dave and Shannon's favorite taco place and then Ryan and I separated to go to our former places of business. He spent the day at KRTU 91.7 and I stopped over at The Magik Theatre to see Snow White and the Seven Amigos. It was a very good show. The actress that played the stepmother, Becky King, was hilarious. The show was very clever and wonderfully directed. The building looks great and their new acquisition, the building behind the theatre, coming along well in it's redevelopment. I just wish I had been there to see the new sign in person. After leaving the theatre I was able to see Susie and little Julian at a Starbucks near North Star Mall. Seriously where did people meet up before Starbucks was popular?

Friday night Ryan and I celebrated the marriage of our good friends Aaron and Lori at their beautiful wedding in the Southwest Center for Arts and Crafts. She looked beautiful, everyone had a great time, the weather held- very important for an out of doors wedding in TX.

Exhausted, but happy we were able to squeeze one more taco breakfast in before returning to Houston on Saturday.

Oh San A, how I love you!
