Houston Zoo


So sweet...

Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend! We made the trip to Houston on Wednesday to see Kyle's mom. The drive actually wasn't too bad. Boston slept most of the way and I thought we would have problems getting him to sleep that night, but he slept normal for the most part. We left around 7:00 and got to Houston around 4:30. That was with 2 feeding stops and a gas station stop. We also got pulled over by a cop and Kyle got a ticket! I swear I thought Kyle was going to jail for arguing with the cop about not getting the guy in front of us who was clearly going faster. And the fact that Texas speed limit signs are very few and far between. I didn't realize the trip to Houston was mostly highway! I thought by now they would surely have an interstate going that way.

Connie was sooo excited to see Boston. She looks really good and seems to be feeling good too. Thursday we went to the Houston Zoo and she even went with us. Let me just say it was SO HOT! Boston did good though. Thursday we drove down to Galveston for the day. We wanted to see the beach and go to Moody Gardens to the aquarium. Let me just say Galveston was a big disappointment! I guess I was expecting something more like Destin, but the beach was nasty looking and the area wasn't very commercialized. There was still a lot of hurricane damage from Ike too. We drove around forever looking for a local seafood restaurant on the beach and ended up settling for Joes Crab Shack b/c we couldn't find anything else!

Saturday was reserved for shopping at the Galleria but Boston was extra fussy that day and it took forever for us to get out of the hotel. We went to Ikea (which is my new favorite store!) You definitely need a few days to go throught he whole store though! I wanted to go to DSW but they closed at 6 so we went to the Galleria and ate at Cheesecake Factory (yummy) and by the time we got through it was 6:30 and the mall closed at 6! I was so mad!!! So no shopping for me, our bank account is thankful though :) Boston had a fever that night and was really fussy so we stayed in and didn't get to see fireworks :( Oh well, I'm sure he will enjoy them next year.
I will post some pictures tonight!
