Houston... We Have No Problem











We decided to take the day yesterday and drive to the coast. It's been since last December since we saw the big blue so we decided... Why Not? It was truly one of our most favorite memories now. We had so much fun! It was a perfect 79 degrees, the water was probably about 65-70, not bad at all, we jumped the waves, threw sticks for Nali, and just really enjoyed the time as a family. Can I just say that all the bad talk about Texas really is just from people who haven't been here, or rarely come. Who can really turn down a late October day at the beach in 79 degree weather? I mean, seriously. It was amazing. We didn't go to Galveston for obvious reasons, and didn't see any destruction in Houston besides lots of signs needing repair/replacing and some skyscrapers with windows boarded. Besides that I was extremely impressed with the amount of clean up and repair done in Houston, it looked pretty normal to me. We went to the Children's Museum in Houston first and they went "trick or treating" there, where I got go do face painting on them (kitty cats), and they really had fun, for those of you from the Pacific Northwest, it was a lot like OMSI. Anyway, it was definitely worth the drive and I'm becoming more and more a fan of Texas. The pride is there for a reason, really... its awesome here!
