Small Town Girl in the Big City

This past weekend, my husband and I spent Friday thru Sunday in big 'ol Houston. Wow. What traffic. Every highway is bumper to bumper crawling. Dallas seems like an empty tomb compared to that mess.

We stayed on the south/west side of Houston. About a block or two from our hotel there was a Houston's Restaurant. We did become nightly regulars there. We didn't eat there because we wanted our fill of fresh seafood while we could get it.

We also ventured into the Galleria. I've decided that big malls are big malls. Seen one you've seen 'em all. If there is anything retail you need, go to the good 'ol big mall.

I still prefer shopping online. The crowds drive me nuts. After about 30 minutes of walking around or rather - stop because someone stopped right in front of you, dart around them, someone else darts in front of you so you dart again.

Whew! We had to stop in the Fox Sports Bar and have a drink. Now that's a sports bar. All four walls have flat screen TVs. Probably about 8 - 10 per wall. Huge! Our regular bar at home has three TVs and they are just fine! Thank.You.Very.Much.

The bartenders were nice and the grilled carrot cake with vanilla bean ice cream I had was delicioso! We had a good time.

We weren't prepared for the 88 degrees with humidity in Houston but that warmth felt great. We are so ready for spring!
