Easter weekend
Chris and I just got back from spending the long weekend in Houston. About a year ago, I won a voucher in a raffle for $750 off a "Last Minute Deal" on Travelocity. Between Chris' school obsession and several trips we had to take which could not be planned at the last minute, we were faced with a voucher which was about to expire. So: airfare, two nights at the Hotel Derek and a rental car were all ours for a grand total of $34.
The weekend away was just what the doctor ordered. We did some shopping, checked out the Masterpieces of French Painting exhibit at the MFAH, and went to see Wicked, which was awesome - I highly recommend it. Plus, dinner at Da Marco, which was rated the 29th best restaurant in the U.S. by Gourmet magazine (good, but I don't think it rises quite to "29th best in the country" status).
Now, back to reality: tax preparations call.
