Saturday was such a relaxing day… We didn’t set an alarm, we didn’t have a place scheduled for breakfast or lunch, or really anything that day before 4pm… Now THAT is what I call a vacation. Saturday was our transition day, we went from New Braunfels to Houston to continue on to our last leg of the vacation.
We made it to H-town with no problems at all, we were even able to check in to our hotel a little early! Which came in so handy because both Thomas and I were so tired, probably from the day before, but we knew that bed was calling our name for a nice nap before dinner!
Saturday night, we had dinner at Flemings Steakhouse in Houston, YUM! Thomas’ dad is a manager there, and Thomas has been dying to take me there for as long as I remember, so of course, that’s where we went! Thomas and I are such foodies, we loved being there and having lots of new stuff to try! Thomas had been there before and knew a lot about the menu already, but I had not. It was such a fun experience and we loved everything we got!
After our wonderful baked Brie appetizer, both of our steaks, and some very yummy bread and assorted butters, here is our delectable dessert! Chocolate lava cake… SO YUMMMY! I can’t even put into words how wonderful it was! Definitely give Flemings an overall 10, we had wonderful service, amazing food, and it had a great atmosphere! We’ll definitely be returning!
After our marvelous dinner, the two of us had to take a little walk to get that “so stuffed I can’t move” feeling out of our system. We found a cute shopping center just down from our hotel and Flemings, and decided it was perfect. We even found a cute little faux telephone booth!
A little later that night we met up with Thomas’ dad to catch up a little more at a local spot called BB’s!
It was Cajun food, and everything looked delicious! Both Thomas and I were completely stuffed and didn’t eat, but we all had a bite of this mouthwatering bread pudding. I’m not much for bread pudding, but this one came topped with lemon meringue as well as having no raisins, which was a plus for me.
Once the game was finally over, Thomas and I made a quick stop at Buc-ee’s on 45, which was a huge disappointment compared to the one we visited previously in New Braunfels, but we still managed to buy a few things we needed wanted, and were on our way home!
Our 4 day getaway was just what we needed! Each day on our vacation, like everyday in our relationship, was such an adventure. Definitely sad that it’s over, but happy that I got to see all of the precious kiddos I nanny today.
I’m so blessed to have been able to take this vacation, and so thankful that both of the families I work for allowed me to take a few days off as well as being so grateful that Thomas was able to take off too! My life has changed so much in the last year, to think, a year ago today, I had just boughten my car (all on my own), Thomas and I had hardly been dating 3 months, and I was in between nannying positions. Life is so crazy, and it only seems to get crazier!
I hope this week treats everyone well, I have a busy busy work week, but am so looking forward to it!
