Tripp's Birthday Weekend

We celebrated Tripp's birthday with a fun, relaxing three-day weekend! I would say that the theme of the weekend was food!

Saturday, we started Tripp's birthday with breakf.ast at IHOP. Wow, we had forgotten how yummy but unhealthy the food there is. Oh, well it was a special occassion, right? We spent the rest of the day, relaxing at home and running a few errands. That evening, we saw the movie The Lincoln Lawyer. It was very good and a fun way to celebrate Tripp's birthday. After the movie, we headed to Pappasito's for dinner. Tripp's siblings gave him a generous gift card to the restaurant for his birthday. We had a delicios meal of a taquito appetizer, chicken and beef fajitas, rice, beans, beer, and sangria.

Sunday, we went to church went to the grocery and did a few things around the apartment. We also went  to buy Tripp's birthday present. He got an electric shaver from me, his parents, and his grandmother. He got a top of the line shaver!

We had a late lunch and then left to go see the Cirque du Soleil show Ovo.


The show took place at the Houston Race Track under tents. It was really cool to see an entire show set up under tents! The show was amazing!! The artistry and talent in the show was unbelievable. Our favorite acts were the  "ants" and the "grasshoppers."

Following the show we went to our favorite hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant for dinner.

Monday, Tripp and I had the day off. I had a dentist appointment early in the morning and then we spent the rest of the day watching TV, doing laundry, playing Wii. After lunch, we went to a nearby $1.50 movie theater to see Little Fockers. The movie was funny, but the theater was interesting. We have quickly forgotten what movie theaters used to look like without stadium seating, plush chairs, arm rests that lift up.


It was a great weekend!!
