Wife's Birthday Weekend

Jul 13, 2009 18:35

Saturday was my wife's birthday and we traveled across most of Houston, going to places we liked and she wanted to go to.

First was the breakfast buffet at Baba Yega's.  Tasty-tasty fruit, scrambled eggs, muffins, and bacon.  My wife had the waffles with cinnamon-banana syrup (made with slices of banana, syrup, and tons of cinnamon) instead of the bacon.  We ate until we were stuffed silly.

The we went to the Lego store.  Glee!  So after buying a couple buckets of spare parts and learning that the new Space Police (cool aliens!) sets won't arrive until Monday (today, actually), we headed out and wandered the mall for a bit, mostly remembering why we don't do that very much anymore.

Then we made the drove to the Rice Village area, detouring along Beltway 8 to avoid a 7 mile stretch of traffic on I-45.  There we ate a small lunch at Mi Luna.  My wife was wilting from the heat and it had been hours since breakfast, so we got a few tapas and cooled off.  From there we stopped at The Path of Tea to restock one of my wife's favorite teas (Earl Grey Green Tea if you are interested) and then Whole Foods to get a few other things.

At this point we were beat by the heat, even with Scoot's A/C (Scoot is metallic green, a color no longer offered).  We headed back north to home to catch a quick nap while waiting for my wife's BFF from high school to call so we could arrange a dinner or something.  As this was a last minute thing, the timing never worked out so we went to Chuy's for an excellent dinner.

Sunday, we had homemade breakfast, cooked by myself, and breakfast is my area of specialty.  A bit later my wife and a friend went to see Night at the Museum 2.  It had Ben Stiller being slapped by monkeys - my wife loved it.

Me?  I did research for my idea for a new Champions campaign - even Ben Stiller being slapped by monkeys was not enough for me to see that movie.  More on the campaign idea as I get it fleshed out.

That's about it.  A good time was had by all and I scored bonus husband points.  :)

weekend, wife, birthday
