{Houston: Enjoying the City}

What a memorable trip this was for the kid. They loved every minute of this vacation. They had a great time exploring new places but I think the thing that they enjoyed the most was getting to spend a lot of time with their cousins. Family time is the best!

Staying at a nice hotel was definitely much appreciated by everybody. William even made a comment that nice places, must cost good money. My son, the forever budget conscious (just like his Dad). The Westin we stayed at was conveniently located next to the mall and Target...sigh, my kind of location indeed! The hotel's signature bed didn't go unnoticed. The kids LOVED it! Even had their cousin Paige hang out with us for a view on our last day at Houston.

We very much enjoyed's the resort pool with a view of the city!

Granddaddy and Grandmommy are building their home in gorgeous neighborhood so of course the whole family had to check out their lots. The kids had so much fun just running around their lot.

Silly cousins hanging out.

The house plans looks great and we are looking forward to staying with them soon!

Houston boasts great Mexican food and it sure lived up to it's reputation. We had the best fajita and beans at Lupe's Tortilla. Thanks to a friend's FB message that we should check this out!

And their sand box area, is a hit with all the kids, as Ed and I cringed at the thought of of cleaning up after them. Somehow, sand just finds it's way everywhere.

Not necessarily a Texas thing, but Cracker and Barrel is always fun for breakfast. Here's William playing with Ed and Granddaddy.

Another highlight from the weekend was our trip to Houston's Children's Museum. Rated's as the number's Children's Museum in the Nation. So much to explore!

Superheroes in action at the museum.

The outdoor area features their flow works exhibit and was a great way for the kids to dip their hands in water and cool off a lil from the Houston heat.
