Girl's Weekend in Houston

Laurie and I decided to head to Houston to visit Liz and the only weekend that ended up working for everyone was Memorial Day weekend. We got there early on Saturday and headed to Sam's Boat for a little nostalgia, crawfish and beer. It was a fun afternoon and then we headed back to the hotel to get dressed and meet Amy Sundberg. She brought the album from her bachelorette party and it was so fun catching up and laughing about the "old days".

Liz gave us a little driving tour of the Memorial Park area. Brian and I built our first house together in the Rice Military neighborhood and it was fun to drive by and see the old casa. We loved the location when we lived in Houston, but now Washington has so many bars and restaurants it is crazy. We at dinner just down the street from the old house. It now has so much bamboo and other vegetation that it looks totally different. After dinner we headed over to the Pearl Bar to meet up with Heather Blocker and Lori McCall. Fun night out . . . not a fun morning after. We managed to hit La Madeline and then headed back home.

The old house . . . it's a jungle.

When I showed Brian this picture of the old house he didn't even know what it was with all the bamboo. It looked so different.
