Steve had business in Houston for the week and Luke and I decided to tag along for a few days. We left Carson at my parent's house and flew out of LA. It was my first time to Texas and I've got to say that I am a fan. It didn't hurt that the weather was perfect, I've been told Houston is UNBEARABLE in the summer.
Everyone was so nice, polite and friendly. I loved all the trees and greenery, and that there are churches on every corner. Don't even get me started on the food. Texans' can eat! I had THE BEST fajitas I've ever had in my life. Last night I had this incredible chocolate dessert. It was a box made out of dark chocolate, stuffed with white chocolate moose and fresh berries. I wish I would have taken a picture of it.
Just for fun we looked at a few homes while we were there and went to some open houses. It is crazy how much house you can get for your money. I'm talking beautiful, huge brick homes in super nice neighborhoods for $200,000. I don't know, maybe I could do the heat and humidity for an incredible home. Don't worry, we aren't planning on moving anytime in the near future. It's just fun to see what other options are out there.
Steve stays in Houston for a few more days and I am hear with the boys at my parents' house. They said Carson was a very good boy while we were gone. And get this, supposedly he slept great the whole time I was gone! I guess all that sleep exhaustion finally caught up with him. Let's hope he keeps it up once we get home. I'll have to take some pictures these next few days and post them. It is very fun staying so close to the beach, but it's been rainy. Hopefully there will be some sunny weather so we can play outside!

I was surprised at how much I liked Texas, too!
And you're right - some of the best food is in Texas. :)
And I love the big brick homes for CHEAP!
Glad you got a toddler break.
