After finding out where we are moving on Wednesday (chant* Kadena! Kadena!), we got to finish off the week by going to Houston for the long Memorial Day weekend. We stopped at Chipotle's in Austin on our way through and then went to the temple on our first day in Houston.
It was a beautiful day and we took some pictures while we waited for the next session to start.
The Houston Temple is set up just like the Albuquerque temple inside. It was wonderful starting our trip off with it. It had been a while and I think Logan and me both thought this was one of our favorite parts of our trip!
After the temple we checked into our hotel and grabbed some dinner before going to see Iron Man 3 in 3D. Don't we look cool!
I took this picture the next morning while Logan was eating breakfast and waiting for me to get ready.
Saturday we saw Star Trec and shopped at the outlet mall! Logan was really great the whole time we were shopping! I know it is not his favorite thing but he followed me around the whole time and was nice enough to let me buy some new clothes! (I will miss my Banana Republic when we are in Okinawa).
For dinner we ate at Rudy's because it is supposed to be real Texas bbq. It was good. My favorite part is that we took the peach cobbler we got for dessert and drove down to Galveston and ate them as we walked on the beach. From where we were, you could see Pleasure Pier and all its rides lit up.
Sunday was beach day! I hate to spend too much money when we are on vacation so we decided that after going to church we would play on the beach for free. I sprayed us both down with spf 100 and we drove out to Galveston. I new it would be busy because it was a holiday weekend but it was crazy getting there. Unfortunately, we spent most of the trip sitting in the car but once we got there it was a lot of fun!
We found a less crowded beach further down the cost and had a lot of fun playing in the waves and eating the picnic we brought. The water was really warm even if it was not very clear (It made me excited for when we can go to the beach any time when we are in Okinawa!).
We had to drive back on Monday but before we left, we hit up a place called Niko Niko's. It is a Greek restaurant in the middle of down town Houston. We heard that they had Donor Kabobs (like Europe) and we weren't disappointed! They were pretty much the same and tasted so good! It was the favorite thing I ate on the whole trip!
After lunch, we went to Ikea and got a guest bed for all the company we are going to get while living in Japan and had a safe and uneventful drive home.
