Weekend trip to Houston.









I went to Houston this past weekend. I have only been to San Antonio - in Texas - I heard of 2 really nice cities to visit 1) Dallas 2) Houston.. So, I got a great deal on flights and took off.


Leaving budgets and other (crap :-)) behind... I had no plan really, except to visit Lakeside church. Houston was great. A strange little city where I kept on getting "De Ja Vu" at every corner for some reason. Not sure why. The shopping in Houston is great - nice huge malls.. some snobby sales guy saw me coming in the Fendi store :-( He showed me the "baby Fendi Spy bag" Argh! It sucks to not just be able to pick up the bag that my heart WANTS anymore! Nevermind.. It's material... worldly... stuff (she keeps telling herself). Character building stuff - that's for SURE!

I also visited the NASA Houston Space centre, that was pretty awesome! WOW. I have never been too interested in Space exploration, even though I saw the space shuttle take off from Kennedy Space centre a few years ago. But this experience just opened and expanded my mind and the wonderment of what mankind gets up to out there in all sorts of areas.. Really cool!

Had a great dinner at a restaurant called Sambuca downtown. I visited Joel's church, though he was not there, it was a cool experience. Reminded me of back home a little. It was nice. There wasn't as much himidity as I had anticipated, the weather was great - so I had a decent hairstyle all weekend! Teehee




The Houston culture is a little more dressy than in Denver, which was nice not to feel overdressed because of the type of style I enjoy.

That's about it really, It is such an easy flight hop, too - So that was great. No check in luggage, just a small carry on with bare essentials, and a great fuss-free weekend!

Houston.. we have NO problem! :-))
