Yee-Haw!!!

Posted By Steph | April 28, 2008


For the past week, I have been enjoying some good ol’ Texas fun with my family down in Houston. It’s pretty exciting down here in the hot humidity of the Lonestar state :) I’ve experienced a great deal of what Texas has to offer including some great shopping, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and the beach at Surfside!

My dad and Shannon have definitely kept me busy with all of the site-seeing and fun activities that they’ve planned. I love it down here, and there is so much to do and see, I feel like I haven’t even scraped the surface of seeing what Texas has to offer. It is a pretty big state I guess. Speaking of big… EVERYTHING is big down here; it’s just the texan style really. If it’s not big then it’s not worth anything, or so it seems. :)

I’ve had a fabulous time here in Texas with my dad and Shannon and it’s good to finally have a picture of what their life is like down here since I’ve been hearing about it since they moved back in January. I can’t wait to make more trips down here, but I think i might wait to let the hot HOT summer pass before I head back for another vacay.

I head back home to beautiful Palo Alto tomorrow, which I miss A LOT!! Texas is beautiful and lots of fun, but I’ve gotta say that Palo Alto still holds my heart. And I’m beginning to miss that one tall guy a little bit too ;)

      Hi Steph,

      I am so glad to hear that you had a good time in Texas - and that you had a chance to swing by our Museum. Thanks for linking to us - and I hope you’ll be able to visit again sometime soon.

      Best,

      Erin

      [...] Today, Ryan and I are heading out to visit my parents in the great state of Yeeeeehawwww…Texas! It’s been almost nine months since I last ventured out to the lone star state and I can hardly believe that it has been that long. Some fond memories that I have from my last trip include Bucky’s gas station beef jerky buffet, gigantic state of Texas flags hanging from every home, China town, and A LOT of humidity. Quite the different scenario from my current living conditions, but I love it. I’m very much looking forward to some great quality time with my dad, Shannon and Ryan. This will be Ryan’s first time to head to Houston with me and I’m really looking forward to seeing how he reacts to all of the huge rig pick-up trucks, fried food everything, cowboy hats, yeehaw’s and ya’lls. I’m sure he’ll just love it! [...]

    What do you want to tell us, hmmm?
