This Week...

Tuesday I drove all the way to Houston to visit with my Dad for a while. It was really good to see him and the visit made me miss everyone in Maine. We'll be visiting in June though, and that's less than 3 months away! We walked around the hotel he was staying at which happened to be right next to the Galleria, a huge mall. We walked around and nearly got lost in that mall and talked and talked. We were going to get some BBQ at a place called Luling City Market. I say we were because as soon as we walked in it just didn't feel right. It was dark in there, no one greeted us, and the smell was too musty. Rob claimed all he could smell was rotten meat. We turned on our heels and had dinner at a restaurant that was nicer by ten fold. Dad and I talked a lot and it was nice to just be with him and not feel completely rushed by a short visit. We even took him to Cavenders, a western wear store and hooked him up with some boots and a hat. Hopefully I'm writing this after he's had a chance to surprise Mary and the little ones at the airport with his new ensemble.
I took a bunch of pics from the trip, they're on my Flickr.
