Houston Trip

Friends, food, shopping, and beautifully warm Texas made for a very enjoyable States trip.  Our trip also marked our first return to Houston since March 2011.  Our schedule was full, the week flew by, but we loved every minute.

Just a quick glimpse of our week:

Thursday (midnight): arrived in Houston
Friday: Ryan worked, went to jeweler to design wedding band (someone has a wedding this summer!!)
Friday night: Joe and Ashlee's rehearsal dinner
Saturday: Joe and Ashlee's beautiful wedding
Sunday: Perry family time! :)
Monday: errands
Tuesday: San Marcos Outlets San Antonio, dinner with Ryan's Uncle Steve
Wednesday: San Antonio
Thursday: Corpus Christi to see the Tim and Kate :)
Friday: back to Houston
Saturday: flight to Moscow

Our week took us to 3 different cities, visiting many friends, shopping until our suitcases were packed, and enjoying delicious food.  

Quick picture before Joe and Ashlee's Wedding.  Modeling our first purchases; my dress, and Ryan is looking very handsome in his new suit.  Another major purchase included my new MacBook Air.  First blog post with the new computer!

Don't get any ideas Monica and Jayn! :)
Diane, Phil, and I were walking along after lunch.  Phil was carrying Harper, but I noticed no one was pushing Hudson.  Oh wait, Ryan was testing his stroller skills.
No need to worry Mothers, the day will come, just not while we are living in Russia. :)

 Ryan is the best!  Holding the beautiful Perry children, Hudson and Harper.  

Dinner at my favorite Houston restaurant, Benjy's.  

The man loves to drive, and we drove a lot.  Quick stop to support our favorite oil company!

What Texas vacation is not complete without a margarita?  

Casa Rio in San Antonio.  The picture doesn't support this fact, but it was my first margarita.

I feel like this has become a travel tradition.  I always seem to have a dinner guest.  Maybe it's because I feed a good portion of my food to the local furry/feathery friends. 

When in San Antonio, one must visit the Alamo.  

Not only was this an old, historical tree, but I also found the squirrel perfectly placed. 

Just enjoying a mid-morning snack.  

Great morning activity, within walking distance from our hotel. 

San Antonio Riverwalk.  

Over a year later, but we finally made it to San Antonio.  Our previous plans were cancelled due to Ryan's business travel, and then our move to Russia.  

Riverwalk Boat Cruise

It was an incredibly fast week, but I am so thankful we were able to visit with so many friends, and explore San Antonio.  

Major love for Texas.
