Another family visit

We were so excited that Tripp's parents had planned a weekend to visit us in Houston. They arrived Friday evening and the weekend began with a dinner at home of bakd chicken, pasta, salad, and was topped off with an apple crumble. We visited the rest of the evening and made plans for Saturday.

This visit was for two reasons, to visit us and family and to take some furniture back to Alabama. Saturday morning after a pancake breakfast, we went to rent a moving truck. That process took some interesting turns once we arrived to pick up the reserved truck to find out that it was not available (not sure how you reserve something and then they don't have it but...). After researching a few other options, we left with a much larger truck than needed. We dropped off the truck at our apartment and went to Captain Tom's for lunch. Captain Tom's is one of our favorite seafood restaurants here in Houston. It has a unique atmosphere and great seafood!


Once lunch was finished, we loaded the truck with an arm chair, kitchen table, and chairs. We relaxed the rest of the afternoon before getting ready for a family dinner/get together at Tripp's cousin's house. All of the Houston relatives had gathered at JJ and Jerry's house for margaritas, Mexican  food, and visiting. The kids roped Tripp, Mr. Wesley, and Jon into helping them "wrap" a friend's house with toilet paper to end the night.

Sunday morning, we got up early, went to another cousin's house to pick up another table and baby jogger, and direct Ms. Kat and Mr. Wesley to the interstate. It was a great visit!

That afternoon, Tripp and I left again to see 9 to 5: The Musical. It was a fun show filled with comedy, great music, and wonderful dancing!
