Houston #2 and yay for seven blogging years!!!

Yay for Friday!!! These weeks in January are just tiptoeing along and I for one am very okay with the weekend ahead!

Also, today is 7 years since I started blogging!!! What started off as a way to document all the little happenings in my girls' lives has turned into this wonderful outlet of  random self expression for me. I love the blogging community and how kind, encouraging and empowering you ladies are. I know that online can be a tough place at times but blogging folk are a special sort who really do strive to lift each other up. Cheers to you,  all of my friends, family and other readers. Thank you so much for reading and following along!

In other news, here's a little bit more of our visit to Houston... It was so action packed, this is just 48 hours of fun as it's sooo many pics to go through!


Day 2 started with an accidental trip to Tacodeli, this Austin chain with gourmet, fresh delicious tacos. Everyone loved it so much, we returned before we left Houston.



The queso was soooo good, my kids went a little crazy! Let's be honest, so did I. 



Then we were off to the Houston Aquarium. We bought a City Pass which gave us access to 5 different tourist attractions. Highly recommend it for the bigger cities!



It was a quick visit to a smaller aquarium but it was so beautiful though a certain seven year old found some of the bigger fish quite scary!



There was a random live white Bengali Tiger as an exhibit as well. I didn't understand how he fit in but he was a beauty for sure.


My kids wanted to go on a ride before we left. 


We headed to the very busy Galleria mall after for some shopping go lite as we just walked with carry on luggage. Side note, we almost spent as much time looking for parking as we did in the Aquarium #truestory


A's namesake and her birthday twin at their house for dinner after!


The next day, we were off to the Space Centre.


We clearly had the same idea as about 5000 other people!


There were so many cool interactive experiences and stem activities!






And then my friends, we took the kids on A's 'dream come true'.... her words.... to the Unicorn- A Magical Dessert Bar.

  8. Happy 7 years of blogging! What an achievement! We love aquariums and really anyplace with animals of any kind. One of the downfalls of traveling during the holidays and school vacations are the crowds. But it looks like you had a great visit to Houston That dessert bar.....my teen daughter would LOVE it! Actually, I think I would too! Have a great weekend!
