Coming to you from the Lone Star State!

We set out on Wednesday for our destination wedding in Houston, TX. We stopped on the way and stayed in a little town, Coriscana, TX then drove onward till we got to Houston. With our GPS we borrowed from Jeff's dad we arrived in Houston around 4:30. Oh, the reason for the long trip... 1st is for our wedding we are documenting on Saturday, 2nd to get away and out of KS for a little while (Jeff and I haven't had a vacation since our honeymoon (5.75 years ago), and third a chance to see the ocean together.

Thursday we drove to Galveston, TX and got some fun shots along the beach. There was "One" crazy surfer we watched and documented. With it being a windy day the waves were definitely up. Along the beach parkway we spotted a Ben & Jerry's Ice-Cream parlor, so we definitely had to grab some ice-cream. Jeff got his favorite, Vanilla in waffle cone, and my favorite, Coffee with Chocolate chunks.

As the sun started to set we thought we better head back to Houston to our hotel where we had reservations set at the Hampton INN. On our way back we grabbed some killer shots of the sunset. If anyone reading this knows anything about Houston or experienced driving in the traffic knows that it is nuts. The roads are like what you would see in a futuristic sci-fi movie intertwined and loopy. This is why we were really glad we had borrowed the GPS. We liked it so well we had to have the toy to own. Only a block away from our hotel there is a Circuit City and so we stopped. Yep, you guessed it Jeff had to have it and so we did find one of the Garmin's on sale.

Later after we watched our favorite TV show, LOST, we headed out to find something to eat. After 2 strikes because the places closed at 9 p.m. we finally found our destination at Maggie Rita's Bar and Grill. Highly recommended and suggest only ordering 1 meal for 2 people to eat. Jeff and I both are super stuffed! They had great service too! We will see what tomorrow holds. The only thing we have on the calendar is to make sure we are at the rehearsal by 6:15 p.m.
