Winter Trip to Houston

The girls and I made  a weekend trip to Houston over the President’s Day weekend.  The girls had three classes between them on Saturday (Molly swimming and ballet, Claire art) so we headed up in the late afternoon after the classes were done.  it was a fun but quick trip.  We mostly chilled out, and visited my old haunt, Hedwig Park.  The girls were not ready to come back home on Monday!  I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

After the fun weekend with the whole family in Houston, Claire turned right around and took off for some more spring break grandparent fun in Corpus Christi.  I can’t tell you a whole lot about the trip.  She was just whisked off by her grandparents.

We talked to Claire most nights on a cacophonous mobile phone on loud-speaker and were not able to make out a whole lot, other than Claire was having lots of fun around town and also relaxing at home with the grandparents.  I think she saw some dolphins.  I do have a couple of pictures, compliments of Grammy Joyce, of Claire on the way down to Corpus and on the drive back, all the while listening to Alice in Wonderland in the car.
