memorial day in texas

We went down to visit Grandma and Grandpa for our three-day weekend. The hub and I decided to take off early on Friday and attempt to beat the considerable holiday traffic. We got to Texas and instantly threw ourselves into the weekend. Britton got treated to a whole new batch of toys and was thrilled beyond belief.

Grandma and Grandpa watched Britton while the hub and I treated ourselves to a trip to IKEA. Oh, it was heaven on earth. It's hard to go into IKEA with a list, because you end up getting sidetracked by the amazing deals on kitchen supplies, bedding, furniture, etc., but we made it out of there with the credit card relatively intact and the car filled to the gills. It was our first time checking out their kid's section, so we went a little overboard.

Once back at the house, we went out to dinner at Pappasita's, a fantastic Mexican restaurant. Britton enjoyed her avacado slices while we all munched down on chicken, steak, queso, ceviche, seafood enchiladas, and fried ice cream. I'm still full! On Sunday, the hub and Grandpa went to the Colonial golf tournament while Grandma and I hung out with Britton. All in all, a fabulous holiday weekend!

She will never remember what he was telling her, but I will always remember this moment...
