Trip to Texas

April 8-13 Justin had a one-day conference in Houston this week and I got to tag along. It just so happened that my work schedule fell so that I could go to TX without taking any vacation. Ah, the joys of working part-time. :)



We arrived in Houston on Tues afternoon and spent the night with my grandparents in Pasadena. We had a great visit with them. For Justin, it was the first time he really had a chance to visit with and get to know them better.



On Wednesday, we traveled to Bryan/College Station to visit with my dad and my other grandparents. Again, the opportunity to visit with my family was great and we were so thankful for that time. It was wonderful to visit some of my favorite restaurants while back home. You wouldn't believe how much I miss some of the flavors of the South. I think I doubled my pregnancy weight gain in just one week. Oops! Unfortunately, my mouth could not be convinced to stop enjoying those flavors. Speaking of weight gain, I do not look pregnant, much to my family's disappointment. I will just have to keep everyone posted on the blog (which I have not done well, so far).



On Friday, we drove to Temple, where my college roommate, Tammy, and her family hosted a BBQ so I could visit with friends. We had such a great time. Again, it was an opportunity for Justin to get to know my friends better and them to know him. Tammy, thanks again for making this possible.



Saturday, we drove to the Bluebonnet Festival and were able to see fields and fields of wildflowers along the way. I've included some pics for everyone to enjoy. On Sunday, it was back to the Northwest. The trip was fast but lots of fun. I wish we could do it more often.
