Houston

Had a great day hanging out in Houston and catching up with Ken’s nephew, Zach, and his fiancé, Carly.  Spent the morning updating the blog (we’re just sure those of you who follow us were thrilled with all those email notices), then enjoyed a leisurely walk through a local neighborhood.  We were surprised to find this beautiful peacock had the same idea.  No clue where he came from, but there he was, wandering the neighborhood, checking things out just like us!

The guys who let us borrow their baseball caps yesterday told us recommended the Armadillo Palace while we’re in Houston, so that’s where Carly and Zach agreed to meet us.  Really fun place, with that giant armadillo out front, good food and great service.  Had a terrific visit with Zach and Carly, and scored the most scrumptious cookies!  Carly works at Tiff’s Treats, a local and very popular bakery.  She was kind enough to bring us a variety box of cookies that made our waitress jealous.  Having tasted one a little bit ago we totally understand why!
