my day started bright and early at 4 am to make my 615 flight.
my blurry almost not viewable proof that 4 am actually DOES exist(this is on the way to the airport at 439 am,special thinks to heidiho for waking up early to take moi!):
the skies were clear and my flight took off and landed right on time! that's ALWAYS welcome since it seems so rare that happens anymore!
my in-flight "breakfast":
(sidenote: that muffin was labeled as "banana". it was,in fact, not a banana muffin...it was a banana FLAVORED muffin. for us banana muffin fans,this is a HUGE difference. banana flavored muffins are gross. end sidenote)
OH! i forgot to mention, i had a total spaz moment and packed full sized bottles of shampoo,conditioner,body wash,lotions,etc in my carry on. needless to say,i no longer had them once i got past security. way to go,me.
my sister picked me up from the airport and promptly informed me that we were going to the BEACH that day!! houston is about an hour and a half from galveston,where the beach is. so we stopped by the house to pick up connnor,my bro in law and his family who is also visiting,and we were on our way!
it was the PERFECT day for the beach. it wasn't too hot and the beach wasn't too crowded. the only thing that was a tiny bit of a bother was it was crazy windy,but i didn't really care...i was at the beach! this was actually conmans first beach trip EVER,so i was especially excited to get to experience that with him.
yea! we're on our way to the beach!!
connor experiencing beach sand for the first time. it was so cute he would take a step,then curl his toes,feeling the texture of the sand(can you tell i'm a child development geek?ha):
our beach spot set up:
shots of the beach,it was GORGEOUS:
there wasn't really anyone in the water,it was COLD.
there was plenty of entertainment for the children(connor and his cousin acee):
acee in her cute little swim outfit:
i taught connor how to use a pail and shovel!
baby sand castle:
grandma and cman taking a walk in the sand:
beer coozy:
all in all it was an amaazing day at the beach. after about 3 hrs in the beautiful sun we headed back to houston because it was time to go out to dinner.
soooooo tired from playing so hard!
we went to El Tiempo Cantina,this nice texmex restaurant. now,i'm not generally a fan of mexican food. now i know why. i live in the WRONG part of the country. if you want good mexican food,you gotta get closer to mexico! this place was SO amazingly delicious i will never ever say i don't like mexican food ever again. i didn't understand what half the menu was so i went with the dish that i had no idea what it was,that sounded the most delicious. it was the pechuga domenico and this was the description: chicken breast, spinach, cilantro cream,sausage and mozzarella. sounds bombdotcom,right??? well,it WAS and am so glad i decided to take a chance and order it. it was life changing,i swear.(i think this may be a specialty of the restaurant cause i tried to google for a picture and nothing came up!)
after el tiempo we all went home and went to BED. it was such a long,exciting day and we were exhausted!
once i told my sister that the ONLY reason i come visit is so i can eat her cooking.this morning she made my grandma ottoson's "sunday brunch casserole". top that off with a little sour cream...YUM! needless to say, not much was left after all us grown ups tackled it:
today is basically a stay at home and play with connor day. justin's family just left and i'm pretty sure we're all still trying to recover from (and digest!) our adventure yesterday. we DO have to go to target so i can replace all my bathroom essentials that security threw away. good thing i LOVE target.
to be continued...
